Relates to the use of aerial images by insurers
This bill requires insurers to follow specific rules when using aerial images to decide whether to non-renew property insurance policies. Insurers must include date-stamped images (taken within the past year) showing specific property conditions in non-renewal notices, provide a clear process for property owners to fix issues, and allow a 30-day period to correct defects before finalizing non-renewal decisions. It also mandates an appeal process for errors and requires insurers to offer renewal if property owners address the identified issues. The law directly affects property insurance policyholders and insurers in New York, aiming to ensure transparency in coverage decisions based on aerial imagery.
