Bill Summary
For legislation relative to the use of certain insurance underwriting guidelines for homeowners with dogs living on such insured property. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits insurance companies in Massachusetts from refusing to issue or renew, canceling, or imposing increased premiums or rates on homeowners or renters insurance policies based solely on the presence of a specific breed of dog on the insured property. However, the bill allows insurers to take such actions if the dog has been designated as a "dangerous dog" under current statutes. The bill will take effect 60 days after it is enacted.
