CT SB00236

Requires insurers to provide uninsured motorist coverage to named insureds and household relatives struck as pedestrians by their own stolen vehicles, effective October 1, 2013.

Clarifies that insurers cannot deny uninsured motorist coverage solely because the insured was struck as a pedestrian during a vehicle theft, when the vehicle is listed as covered on their policy.

Maintains existing requirements that insurers offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage with limits up to twice the bodily injury coverage limits, unless the named insured requests lower coverage in writing.

Requires insurers to provide informed consent forms in 12-point type when accepting written requests for reduced uninsured motorist coverage, including explanation of coverage and premium costs for available options.
