The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 340, aims to amend section 38a-331 of the general statutes by eliminating the requirement that insureds under certain homeowners insurance policies pay the surcharge imposed pursuant to said section. This change seeks to relieve homeowners from the additional financial burden associated with the Healthy Homes Fund surcharge, which is currently mandated for certain insurance policies.
The bill is introduced by Senator Sampson from the 16th District and has been referred to the Committee on Insurance and Real Estate. The statement of purpose emphasizes the intent to remove this surcharge requirement, thereby simplifying the financial obligations of homeowners regarding their insurance policies.
