MODERATE

The bill was updated from a Senate introduction to a Senate Draft 1 version, changing the bill number and metadata. Substantively, the disclosure requirement was narrowed from all property insurers to only those selling commercial and residential real property coverage, and the information to be reported was simplified to basic claim counts (open, opened, closed with payment, closed without payment, and ending open) rather than detailed payment approval statuses. The effective date was set to July 1, 2050, and the requirement for public publication was removed, shifting the focus to providing data directly to consumers upon request.

Scope change

The bill's scope was narrowed from all property insurers to only authorized insurers selling commercial and residential real property policies.
