Summary
The new law requires insurers to provide a written notice to claimants when they issue an unconditional payment on a dwelling or other structures claim under a homeowners' policy. The notice must state that the payment does not interrupt, suspend, or extend the statutory deadline for filing a lawsuit. This ensures homeowners understand that their right to sue remains unchanged despite receiving a payment.
