HB 5262 Connecticut House · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING CERTAIN ELECTRONIC NOTICE REQUIREMENTS FOR PROPERTY AND CASUALTY INSURERS, THE STATE INSURANCE AND RISK MANAGEMENT BOARD'S RESERVE FUNDING, REVIEW OF THE MOTOR VEHICLE GLASS REPAIR NATIONAL MODEL, AND THE OFFICE OF HEALTH STRATEGY'S REPORTING REQUIREMENTS RELATED TO PRESCRIPTION DRUG FORMULARIES.

HB 5262 allows property and casualty insurers to provide policies and changes electronically instead of by mail, but only with the insured's agreement and if no personal information is included. Insurers must offer a paper copy option upon request, keep electronic records for five years after policy expiration, and clearly inform customers about their electronic delivery choices and paper copy access. This directly affects insurers and policyholders in Connecticut, shifting notice delivery methods while maintaining consumer choice. The bill takes effect October 1, 2026, and includes specific requirements for online accessibility and record retention. (Other provisions mentioned in the title, like reserve funding and drug reporting, are not detailed in the provided bill text.)
