The bill mandates a pro rata rebate for policyholders who change auto insurance companies or cancel prepaid policies.

  • Chapter 175, Section 22C

    When policy holders change auto insurance companies or cancel pre paid policies they shall be entitled to a pro rate rebate for the exact number of days paid for in the policy without any surcharge or expenses beyond the exact days the policy was in effect.
