Senate Bill 736 amends the Insurance Code to prohibit an insurer that writes a standard fire, homeowners, or farm and ranch owners insurance policy from using an underwriting guideline based solely on whether a consumer inquiry has been made by or on behalf of the applicant or insured, from charging a rate that is different from the rate charged to other individuals for the same coverage or increasing a rate charged to an insured based solely on whether a consumer inquiry has been made by or on behalf of the applicant or insured, or from considering a customer inquiry as a basis for nonrenewal or cancellation of an insurance policy.
