Senate Bill 1602 amends the Insurance Code to prohibit an insurer from renewing a private passenger automobile insurance policy if the named insured fails or refuses to cooperate with the insurer in the investigation, settlement, or defense of a claim or action. If an insured under such a policy fails or refuses to provide that cooperation or the insurer is unable to contact the insured using reasonable efforts, the insurer must provide written notice to the named insured that states, among other information, that the insurer will not renew the policy if the insured continues to fail or refuse to cooperate.
