INSURANCE/AUTOMOBILE: Provides relative to automobile liability insurance premiums of policyholders sixty-five years of age or older
HB 258 addresses automobile liability insurance premiums for policyholders aged 65 or older. The bill specifically amends a section of the insurance code to clarify that the commissioner retains authority to impose penalties or regulatory actions under this title. It directly affects senior drivers by modifying how insurance premiums for this group are governed under state law. The bill advanced through committee in April 2025 and passed its second reading in May 2025, pending final passage. The amendment focuses on ensuring regulatory enforcement powers remain intact without specifying premium changes.

MINOR
This bill amends the law prohibiting insurance companies from raising premiums solely because a driver is 65 or older. The most significant change is the update to penalties for violations, shifting from a fixed $10,000 fine per violation to allowing the insurance commissioner to impose any penalty or regulatory action authorized by law. The bill also removes administrative headers and digest sections that are not part of the final enacted statute.
ENFORCEMENT
Changed the penalty for violating the age-based premium ban from a specific $10,000 fine to any penalty or regulatory action the commissioner is authorized to take.
TECHNICAL
Removed prefiling statements, digest summaries, and page headers that were present in the original bill but are not included in the final enacted act.
