The bill requires clear disclosure of policy terms, limits waiting periods for accident coverage to one day, mandates annual deductibles (not per-incident), and bans exclusions of legal remedies or binding arbitration. It applies to all pet insurance policies marketed to New York residents starting in 2026, affecting both insurers and pet owners.
