AN ACT
1 Amending Title 75 (Vehicles) of the Pennsylvania Consolidated
2 Statutes, further providing for motor vehicle driver
3 improvement course.
4 The General Assembly of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
5 hereby enacts as follows:
6 Section 1. Section 1799.2(a) of Title 75 of the Pennsylvania
7 Consolidated Statutes is amended to read:
8 § 1799.2. Driver improvement course discounts.
9 (a) Motor vehicle driver improvement course.--All insurance
10 companies authorized to write private passenger automobile
11 insurance within this Commonwealth shall provide a premium
12 discount for each motor vehicle on a policy under which all
13 named insureds are 55 years of age or older and have
14 successfully completed a motor vehicle driver improvement
15 course, which can be provided at a physical location, through
16 the Internet or via cable television, meeting the standards of
17 the Department of Transportation. This discount shall apply to
18 all coverages for all policy periods beginning within the three-
1 year period immediately following the successful completion of
2 the course and shall be approved by the commissioner as part of
3 the insurer's rate filing, provided that such discount shall not
4 be less than 5%. The successful completion of more than one
5 course within a three-year period does not qualify the insured
6 for additional discounts. The premium discount required by this
7 subsection may be omitted upon demonstration to the commissioner
8 in an insurer's rate filing that the discount is duplicative of
9 a driver improvement course discount provided by the insurer.
