Failed to pass pursuant to Senate Joint Resolution 1
Summary
The bill establishes an Office of the Public Intervenor within the insurance commissioner’s office to assist individuals in appealing disability insurance claim denials. It forces insurers to give detailed reasons for any denial, disclose if artificial‑intelligence was used, and bans vague or misleading denial practices. Insurers would pay an assessment based on their disability‑insurance premium volume to fund the new office.
