Bill Text
What changed in the latest version
29 added · 40 removedPlain-language change summary
The recently amended SB 535 removes a requirement for insurers to provide the alleged tortfeasor's physical address when a request for insurance information is made. It also clarifies that the insurers must disclose insurance policy limits and related information quickly when certain injury costs are met or if the tortfeasor has been convicted of specific offenses. These changes are significant because they streamline the process for injured parties to access critical information that may impact their claims, making it easier for them to understand their rights and the resources available to them after an injury event.
