S 634 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

An Act promoting insurance rate review transparency

This bill requires the Massachusetts insurance commissioner to make rate change information clearer and more accessible to consumers. It mandates that summaries of proposed insurance rate changes be written in plain language, establishes a specific timeframe for notifying customers before rates increase, and creates an official period for the public to review and submit comments on these changes. The law applies to all insurance rate reviews within the state and aims to ensure that policyholders have better opportunities to understand and respond to pricing adjustments.
