Summary

The bill would stop insurance companies from using accidents where the insured driver was not at fault to increase premiums, add surcharges, cancel coverage, or deny renewal. It defines a non‑fault incident as any accident the insured was not responsible for, even if not reported to police. Violations would require the insurer to refund the excess premium and pay a penalty of three times that amount or at least $1,000, plus attorney fees.
