Summary

Automobile, commercial liability, and homeowners insurance policies; notices. Adds the option that insurers may use any first class mail tracking method that is used, or has been approved, by the U. S. Postal Service (USPS) to demonstrate proof that a cancellation or nonrenewal notice pertaining to a motor vehicle, commercial liability, or homeowners insurance policy was mailed to an insured. Other options include using registered or certified mail. Currently, insurers may use registered or certified mail, or obtain a certificate of mailing or certificate of bulk mailing from the USPS at the time of mailing, to prove a termination notice was mailed. The bill deletes provisions that refer to the certificate of mailing and certificate of bulk mailing options.
