Plain English Summary

AI-GENERATED
Bars auto insurers from rating by sex, credit score, or postal zone.

Insurers that sell automobile liability coverage can no longer set rates or rating classes using a driver's sex, marital status, home ownership, education level, occupation, postal zone, or credit score.

This creates a brand new statute, so no exception carries over from any prior rating rule, and it applies to every automobile liability policy starting July 1, 2026.
