An Act relative to travel insurance
Bill establishes state regulatory oversight, licensing requirements, and consumer protections for travel insurance products sold to Massachusetts residents.
Bill establishes state regulatory oversight, licensing requirements, and consumer protections for travel insurance products sold to Massachusetts residents.
SD 2792 proposes to establish regulatory frameworks and consumer protections for travel insurance products sold in Massachusetts. The bill would define travel insurance, specify licensing requirements for sellers, and establish disclosure and claims handling standards. This represents an attempt to bring clarity to a largely unregulated insurance product category.
Travel insurance is increasingly purchased by consumers but operates in a regulatory gray area, with unclear consumer protections and variable quality standards. Establishing clear rules would protect Massachusetts residents from predatory practices, unclear policy terms, and inadequate claims processes. The bill could also create competitive fairness by establishing uniform standards for all travel insurance providers operating in the state.
