AI Summary

This bill amends Section 193P of Chapter 175 of the General Laws to prohibit insurance companies from cancelling or non-renewing a homeowner's fire insurance policy without good cause. It requires insurers to provide 60 days' written notice of their intent not to renew a policy, which must include a detailed explanation of the reasons for the non-renewal or cancellation and measures the insured can take to mitigate those reasons. The bill also directs the Division of Insurance to promulgate regulations to enforce these provisions.
