AN ACT ELIMINATING THE AGE REQUIREMENT FOR DRIVERS WHO COMPLETE AN ACCIDENT PREVENTION COURSE AND REQUIRING A STUDY OF AUTOMOBILE LIABILITY INSURANCE LAWS IN OTHER STATES.
HB 6898 removes the age 60+ requirement for drivers to qualify for a 5% auto insurance premium discount after completing a state-approved 4-hour accident prevention course. This change expands eligibility to all drivers who complete the course, not just older drivers, with the discount applying for at least 24 months. The bill also requires Connecticut's Insurance Commissioner to study auto insurance laws in other states - focusing on coverage and premium reduction practices - and report findings to lawmakers by February 2026. The discount provision takes effect October 1, 2025, while the study requirement begins immediately upon passage.
