HB 6133
Connecticut bill prohibits homeowners insurers from using drones for property inspections and underwriting decisions, raising privacy protections but potentially increasing operational costs and claims delays.
HB 6133 would prohibit homeowners insurance companies operating in Connecticut from using drones to inspect properties or gather information for underwriting, claims assessment, or policy decisions. The bill restricts insurers' use of this technology without explicitly defining what constitutes prohibited drone activity or establishing exceptions for consensual inspections.
Insurers increasingly use drone technology to reduce inspection costs, speed up claims processing, and assess property conditions more accurately. This bill reflects growing concerns about privacy, property rights, and surveillance, as drone use can capture detailed information about homes and surrounding areas without clear homeowner consent or awareness. The outcome could affect insurance premiums, claims processing timelines, and competitive practices across the industry.
