04/16/2026 Committee recommended measure be held for further study
Summary
The bill adds a new section to Rhode Island’s liability insurance law that obligates policies covering property damage, personal injury, or indemnification (except workers’ compensation) to specify a total limit that can be used only for claim payments. Insurers may not apply any portion of that limit to pay legal defense fees. The amendment becomes effective as soon as the law is passed.
