H 1130 Massachusetts House · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

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

This bill requires that all automobile insurance policies issued in Massachusetts use a standardized text approved by the state insurance commissioner. It mandates that any changes to policy coverage, conditions, or definitions must go through a public notice and hearing process before being approved. Additionally, the legislation prohibits policies from containing specific exceptions or exclusions for particular accidents or injuries. These rules apply to all motor vehicle liability policies issued after the bill takes effect, aiming to ensure consistency and transparency for consumers.
