HB 2087 Washington House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Addressing travel insurance.

HB 2087 creates a new legal framework for travel insurance sales in Washington State, directly affecting insurers, travel agencies, and group organizers (like schools, employers, or tour operators) selling policies to Washington residents. It defines key terms like "group travel insurance" (policies covering predefined groups without individual charges) and "aggregator sites" (websites comparing insurance), while explicitly excluding cancellation fee waivers and travel assistance services from its rules. The bill requires clear disclosure of coverage details to buyers and clarifies that group policies must follow specific rules, such as defining eligible groups (e.g., students, employees, or sports teams). This ensures consistent regulation for travel insurance sold within the state, aligning with existing insurance laws where not superseded.
