CT SB00887

Amends section 38a-336(a) of the general statutes effective October 1, 2011, concerning uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage requirements for automobile liability insurance policies.

Requires insurers to provide uninsured motorist coverage to named insureds or relatives struck as pedestrians by a stolen motor vehicle or motorcycle owned by the named insured and listed as covered on the policy.

Clarifies that insurers cannot deny uninsured motorist coverage solely because the claimant was struck as a pedestrian during the theft of a covered vehicle.

Maintains existing requirements that insurers offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage limits at twice the bodily injury coverage limits, with continuation to subsequent renewals unless changed in writing.

Preserves the requirement for informed consent forms before named insureds can elect lesser coverage amounts, including explanations of coverage options and premium costs.
