Automobile Insurance Issuance

Complete·5/27/26

South Carolina S0830 prohibits insurers from refusing to issue automobile insurance based on specific factors.

South Carolina S0830 amends the state code to ensure that insurers cannot refuse to issue automobile insurance policies based on age, sex, location, previous refusal of insurance by another insurer, prior purchase of insurance through the Associated Auto Insurers Plan, lawful occupation, or military service. The bill also prohibits insurers from limiting the issuance of insurance to members of particular non-profit member organizations. Insurers are still allowed to set rates based on relevant actuarial data.
