Sec. 38a-342. (Formerly Sec. 38-175g). Bases for cancellation. (a) A notice of
cancellation of a policy shall be effective only if it is based on one or more of the
following reasons: (1) Nonpayment of premium; (2) the driver's license or motor vehicle
registration of either the named insured or any operator either resident in the same
household or who customarily operates an automobile insured under the policy has been
revoked during the policy period or, if the policy is a renewal, during its policy period
or the one hundred eighty days next preceding its effective date.
(b) This section shall not apply to any policy issued under an automobile residual
market mechanism or to any policy or coverage which has been in effect less than sixty
days at the time notice of cancellation is mailed or delivered by the insurer unless it is
a renewal policy or to nonrenewal.
(1969, P.A. 809, S. 2; 1971, P.A. 203; P.A. 83-186, S. 2.)
History: 1971 act made technical correction, removing "(3)" preceding "if the policy is a renewal ..." in Subsec. (a);
P.A. 83-186 amended Subsec. (b) so that this section shall not apply to policies issued under an automobile residual market
mechanism; Sec. 38-175g transferred to Sec. 38a-342 in 1991.
See Sec. 38a-358 re prohibited reasons for declination, cancellation or nonrenewal of private passenger nonfleet auto
insurance policies.
