CHAPTER 417-B CANCELLATION, REFUSAL TO WRITE, REFUSAL TO RENEW CERTAIN PROPERTY AND LIABILITY INSURANCE
Section 417-B:3-a
417-B:3-a Nonrenewal for Filing a Claim. –
The nonrenewal of a homeowner's insurance policy is prohibited if the nonrenewal is based solely on the insured having filed a single valid claim within any one previous or current policy term. For policies that contain no fixed expiration date or that are issued for other than annual periods a term shall be considered each 12 month anniversary from the date of policy issuance. Inquiries about coverage on a policy do not constitute a valid claim and shall not be the basis for nonrenewals.
