Prohibiting use of a person’s credit history in certain insurance transactions

Summary

The bill adds a new section to West Virginia’s insurance code that bars insurers from refusing, canceling, non‑renewing, or raising premiums for auto, home or other personal insurance based on a person’s credit history. It also stops insurers from rating risks or requiring payment plans that depend on credit scores. The goal is to prevent credit‑based discrimination in insurance.
