REGULATORY ACTIVITY:
- Idaho Code § 41-2502 requires that insurers offer uninsured and underinsured auto coverage to Idaho consumers and also provides that a consumer can reject such coverage in writing when the policy is first purchased. Subsection (3) of this section also provides that the insurer provide a statement approved by the Director of the Department of Insurance explaining both types of coverage and the types of underinsured coverage that might be available in Idaho. The department fulfilled this directive initially by publishing Bulletin 08-08. Recently there has been discussion about whether consumers are adequately protected under the status quo. In 2017, there were three bills (H0163, S1048, and S1078) that considered proposing amendments to Idaho Code §§ 41-2502 or 41-2503 (the latter section containing definitions). Legislators suggested that the Director meet with industry to consider alternatives that might better serve Idahoans. The resulting pending rulemaking provides a revised disclosure form to be used by carriers no later than January 1, 2019. To view the rule, go to https://doi.idaho.gov/publicinformation/laws/Rulemaking.
