Representative Marshall announced that the bill is back on the table for discussion by the committee. The committee had taken witness testimony only on March 7. Today, the bill is on the table for action only. The bill prohibits an automobile insurer from determining rates or coverage based on the consumer's failure to maintain coverage when the consumer was on active duty in the United States military. Representative Paccione presented amendment L.005 (Attachment A) which adds sickness and accident insurance policy coverage to the bill. Under L.005, an insurer is prohibited from restricting benefits or increasing premiums for a person who is deployed by or called to active duty in the United States military and the person's sickness and accident insurance policy lapses during deployment or activation. Representative Paccione responded to questions from the committee.
