An Act to protect consumers in the issuance of automobile insurance policies and bonds

This bill requires that all automobile insurance policies sold in Massachusetts use a standardized text approved by the state insurance commissioner to ensure clarity and consistency for consumers. It mandates that any changes to existing policy coverage, conditions, or definitions must undergo a public notice and hearing process before being approved. Additionally, the legislation prohibits policies from containing specific exceptions or exclusions regarding accidents or injuries and requires the commissioner to provide written reasons for any disapproval of a policy form. These rules apply to all motor vehicle liability policies issued on or after the bill's effective date.
