relative to property and casualty insurance laws administered by the insurance department.

This bill updates regulations for property and casualty insurance by clarifying the definition of personal risk to include various residential and non-commercial coverages. It allows insurers to conduct policy audits using modern methods such as telephone, mail, or virtual communication instead of requiring physical inspections. The legislation also expands exemptions for insurance claims adjusters who handle specific automobile glass repair claims and changes how insurers must notify policyholders about cancellations or non-renewals. Additionally, the bill appropriates $25 million to the Department of Environmental Services to fund regional drinking water infrastructure projects aimed at addressing PFAS contamination and increasing water supply.
