An Act amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes, in financial responsibility, further providing for rates.
HB 893 amends Pennsylvania's vehicle insurance law to prohibit insurers from charging widowed individuals higher rates for private passenger vehicles based on marital status. The bill specifically requires that widowed persons be treated equally to married individuals when establishing or maintaining insurance rates for personal vehicles. This change applies to all policies written, delivered, or renewed after the law takes effect. The measure directly affects widowed drivers who purchase or renew auto insurance in Pennsylvania, ensuring they are not penalized financially for their marital status. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment.
