INSURERS: Provides for rate transparency reports. (1/1/26)
SB 136 requires insurance companies to submit annual rate transparency reports detailing how premiums are calculated. These reports directly affect all insurance companies operating in the state, providing the public and regulators with clearer insight into rate-setting practices. The bill amends existing law (changing section 22:1461.1 to 22:1464.1) to establish this reporting requirement. The law will take effect on January 1, 2026, after passing the Senate unanimously.

MODERATE
The bill was finalized into law (Act 428) by adding a co-sponsor and updating the effective date to January 1, 2027. The core policy requirements for rate transparency reports remain largely the same, but the language was refined to specify that reports must be based on the most recently approved rate filing and must be substantially similar to a model report created by the commissioner.
Scope change
The bill's scope was clarified to apply to all admitted insurers licensed to write homeowner's or private passenger automobile insurance, rather than limiting it to filings for those specific coverages.
ELIGIBILITY
Added Representative Chassion as a co-sponsor to the bill.
