SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Uninsured motorist coverage; rates and refunds. Eliminates the requirement that the State Corporation Commission grant prior approval of uninsured motorist rates. Instead, insurers will be authorized to use the “file and use” procedure. The bill also changes the distribution of refunds from the Uninsured Motorists Fund, basing the distribution in the proportion that each reporting insurer’s written car years bear to the total number of written car years by all participating insurers in Virginia. Currently, refunds are distributed in the proportion that each insurer’s premium income bears to the total premium income for basic uninsured motorists coverage.
