§ 26.1-39-24 — Domestic violence - Intentional acts

An insurer issuing or renewing a policy of property and casualty insurance in this state may
not base any rating, underwriting, or claim-handling decision solely on whether an applicant or
insured suffers from domestic violence as defined under chapter 14-07.1. If a property and
casualty insurance policy excludes property coverage for intentional acts, the insurer may not
deny payment to an innocent coinsured who did not cooperate in or contribute to the creation of
the loss if the loss arose out of domestic violence and the perpetrator of the loss is criminally
prosecuted for the act causing the loss. Payment to this innocent coinsured may be limited to
the innocent coinsured's ownership interest in the property as reduced by any payment to a
mortgagor or other secured interest.
