AI Summary

  • Allows automobile collision insurance to be offered by either the same insurance company providing no-fault coverage (Chapter 31) or by a different insurance company.

  • Requires insurers to offer applicants two collision coverage options: limited collision coverage (no deductible if operator not substantially at fault) and broad form collision coverage (with deductibles, waived if operator not substantially at fault).

  • Permits applicants to reject both offered collision coverages or limited collision without deductible, but rejection must be made in writing on a separate form or as part of the application, with written notice of applicant's rights.

  • Requires insurers to provide written explanation of collision coverage options in understandable language at time of initial application and inform policyholders annually at renewal (or when vehicles are added/deleted) of current coverage status and available options.

  • Defines "substantially at fault" as a person's action or inaction being more than 50% the cause of an accident, and clarifies "collision damage" excludes losses covered under comprehensive coverage.
