Maddy summarySB 2633 would expand underinsured motorist coverage to include property damage (such as vehicle repairs or loss of use), which is currently only covered under uninsured motorist coverage (for drivers with no insurance). This change means drivers can now seek compensation from their own insurer for property damage caused by an at-fault driver who has insurance but insufficient coverage. The bill also makes property damage coverage optional for policyholders with collision coverage and sets a $200 deductible for such claims. This affects all auto insurance policyholders in the state who carry underinsured motorist coverage.

Maddy summarySB 2199 clarifies that any change to an insurance producer's compensation is considered a "contract modification" under Rhode Island's Producer Licensing Act. This requires insurance companies to provide 180 days' written notice before altering payment terms for producers who place business with multiple insurers. The bill directly affects independent insurance producers working with multiple companies, ensuring they receive advance notice before compensation changes take effect. It also mandates continued policy renewals at prior rates during a 14-month transition period if a company cancels a producer's contract. The law takes effect upon passage.

It also permits the direct issuance of these plates to an eligible veteran's spouse. The bill modifies existing rules to expand plate transfers and issuance, requiring documentation from the Veterans' Administration to verify eligibility. This affects disabled veterans and their spouses who qualify for the plate exemption under current disability criteria.

Maddy summaryThis bill clarifies the rules for when registered nurses and nurse practitioners can administer deep sedation and general anesthesia during elective, non-emergency procedures. It explicitly prohibits these providers from giving certain strong anesthesia medications for scheduled procedures unless there is an immediate emergency where delaying care would endanger a patient's life or safety. The law maintains that nurses can still provide lighter levels of sedation and ensures that students in anesthesia training programs can participate under supervision. Additionally, the bill requires the state Department of Health to create specific regulations by 2027 and report on how the new rules impact patient access, hospital operations, and safety incidents by 2028.
