H 1077 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act relative to insurance company rebates

This bill updates Massachusetts insurance laws to clarify what counts as a prohibited rebate or inducement for insurance agents and brokers. It maintains a strict ban on giving or receiving cash rebates exceeding $25 that are not explicitly written into the insurance policy. However, the legislation creates an exception for non-cash products and services, such as risk management tools, financial planning, or health education, provided they are not listed in the policy itself. These specific benefits are allowed even if their value surpasses the $25 limit, as long as they are designed to help customers manage risk or improve their financial and physical well-being.
