S 1955 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Creates certain protections for insurers and insurance producers engaging in business of insurance in connection with cannabis-related businesses.

New Jersey's S 1955 protects insurers and insurance producers who provide coverage to cannabis-related businesses operating legally under state law. The bill prohibits state or local agencies from penalizing, canceling policies, or discouraging insurers for working with these businesses, and prevents adverse actions against policyholders solely due to their cannabis business involvement. It also shields insurers, their staff, and their investments from state liability claims arising from this insurance activity. The law does not require insurers to offer such coverage and explicitly states it does not override existing insurance regulations.
