AN ACT CONCERNING PAYMENT FOR REPAIR OR REMEDIATION FOLLOWING A COVERED LOSS UNDER A PERSONAL OR COMMERCIAL RISK POLICY
SUMMARY: The law requires a person who will perform repair or remediation work relating to a claim under a personal or commercial risk insurance policy to give the insured, before any work begins, written notice of the work to be completed and the estimated total price. For losses occurring on or after October 1, 2011, this act voids a work contract between the person performing the work and the insured if the notice is not given. By law, the notice requirement does not apply to repairs (1) made to vehicles covered by an automobile liability insurance policy or (2) performed by registered home improvement contractors.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 2011
