Summary
This Bill eliminates requirement that a named insured (consumer) pay a $10 filing fee in order to appeal an insurance company’s cancellation or nonrenewal of an automobile insurance policy. The Bill also eliminates the requirement for the Department of Insurance to refund this $10 filing fee and will save burdensome administrative reimbursement costs, which exceed any benefit to the State derived from the nominal $10 amount of the fee.
Title
An Act To Amend Title 18 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Casualty Insurance Contracts, Including Cancellation Or Nonrenewal Of Automobile Policies.
