CODE OF VIRGINIA

CERTAIN ACTION PROHIBITED WHEN MOTOR VEHICLE OWNER FAILS TO ALLOW ACCESS TO
RECORDED DATA FROM RECORDING DEVICE (§ 38.2-2213.1)

No insurer or agent shall reduce coverage, increase the insured’s premium,
apply a surcharge, refuse to apply a discount other than a discount that is
based on data recorded by a recording device as defined in § 46.2-1088.6, place
in a less favorable tier, refuse to place in the company’s best tier, or
when there are multiple companies available within a group of insurers, fail to
place in the most favorably priced company solely because a motor vehicle owner
refuses to allow an insurer access to recorded data as defined in § 46.2-1088.6
from a recording device as defined in § 46.2-1088.6. However, nothing in this
section shall prohibit an insurer from charging an actuarially sound rate in
accordance with subdivision A 3 of § 38.2-1904.
