INSURANCE: Prohibits an insurer from utilizing a rating factor in an automobile insurance rate filing
HB 413 prohibits Louisiana auto insurers from using rating factors in their rate filings that are based solely on losses from natural disasters or catastrophes affecting other insurance lines (like property insurance). This directly affects auto insurance customers and insurers in Louisiana by preventing rate increases tied to events like hurricanes that only impacted other policies. The bill allows insurers to use such factors only in multi-line policies covering both auto and other insurance types. The law takes effect on January 1, 2027.
