SB3013 prohibits insurers from discriminating against pet owners based on dog breed or appearance.
SB3013 aims to address housing barriers for pet owners by prohibiting insurers from refusing to issue, renew, cancel, restrict, or charge higher rates for homeowners, renters, or dwelling fire insurance based on the breed or appearance of dogs kept on the premises. This law seeks to prevent pet owners from surrendering their pets due to housing difficulties and to ensure that insurance policies are not unfairly impacted by breed-based restrictions. Insurers may still refuse coverage if a dog has been declared vicious or dangerous by a county law enforcement agency.
