Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Current law requires a number of types of information to appear on the first
page of an insurance policy, such as the corporate name of the insurer and the
insured's right to return a health insurance policy within ten days of receipt. This
bill requires that the grounds upon which the policy may be canceled also appear on
the first page of the policy.
