HB 1058 Summary

• Amends Indiana Code to allow electronic delivery of insurance notices and documents in place of traditional mail delivery methods, effective July 1, 2014.

• Requires affirmative written consent from recipients before electronic delivery, with clear disclosure of rights to obtain paper copies, withdraw consent, and hardware/software requirements.

• Electronic delivery is equivalent to first-class mail, certified mail, and other legally required delivery methods once consent is obtained.

• Establishes procedures for consent withdrawal (effective 30 days after insurer notification) and requires insurers to notify recipients of material changes to hardware/software requirements.

• Creates separate framework allowing property and casualty insurers to post standard policies (without personally identifiable information) on websites, with archived access for 5 years after expiration and free paper copies available upon request.
