This bill amends the Dog Law of December 7, 1982, by adding a new article, ARTICLE I-A, which focuses on insurance related to dog ownership. The new section, Section 101-A, prohibits insurers from refusing to issue or renew, canceling, or increasing premiums on homeowner's insurance policies solely based on the insured's ownership of a dog of a specific breed or mixture of breeds. However, it allows insurers to take action if the dog has been classified as a dangerous dog according to existing regulations.

The bill also includes definitions for "homeowner's insurance policy" and "insurer," clarifying the terms used in the new section. The provisions of this amendment will apply to homeowner's insurance policies that are issued, renewed, or modified after the effective date of the bill, which is set to take effect 60 days after its passage.
