AN ACT CONCERNING UMBRELLA LIABILITY COVERAGE FOR PUBLIC OFFICIALS.

HB 5329 (2025) requires insurance companies to provide supplemental liability coverage - covering general and auto liability - above and beyond an existing policy for elected public officials. This bill directly affects mayors, council members, state representatives, and other elected officials who serve in public office. The key provision mandates that insurers must offer this extra coverage as a standard requirement, not an optional add-on. If passed, it would ensure elected officials have broader protection for potential liability claims arising from their official duties.
