AI Summary

  • Requires insurers to provide written notice when making material changes to automobile or homeowners insurance policies, with either an explanation of principal factors or a statement of the insured's right to request one in writing.

  • Prohibits vague explanations such as citing internal standards, scoring system failures, or generalized terms like "poor loss history" or "poor insurance score."

  • Requires insurers to provide copies of notices and explanations to insurance producers (agents not employed by or captive to the insurer) who represented either the insured or insurer regarding the policy.
