AI Summary

  • Allows insurers to deliver property and casualty insurance notices and documents electronically via email or internet-accessible platforms if the recipient has affirmatively consented to electronic delivery.

  • Requires insurers to provide clear disclosure before obtaining consent, including the right to withdraw consent at any time, how to obtain paper copies, and hardware/software requirements needed to access electronic documents.

  • Prohibits electronic delivery as the sole method for cancellation or nonrenewal notices, which must include a non-electronic component.

  • Establishes that electronic delivery is legally equivalent to traditional mail delivery methods and does not affect the validity of insurance contracts if electronic consent procedures are not followed.

  • Withdrawal of consent becomes effective within five business days of the insurer receiving notice, and does not invalidate documents delivered electronically before the withdrawal took effect.
