Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by FindLaw Staff

(a) (1) The Commissioner of Motor Vehicles may require each insurer that issues policies in this state to notify said commissioner monthly, on a date specified by said commissioner, of all additions, cancellations and issuances by the insurer of such policies that occurred during the preceding month. Such notice shall include the name of the named insured in each policy, the policy number of each policy, the vehicle identification number of each automobile covered by each policy and the effective date of each policy's addition, cancellation or issuance. Said commissioner shall specify an acceptable method of notification. The method of notification specified may include computer tapes or electronic transmission.

(2) Said commissioner may require each insurer that issues policies in this state to provide monthly, on a date specified by said commissioner, the policy information required for purposes of the Online Insurance Verification System, as provided in section 14-112a.

(3) The failure of an insurer to comply with the requirements of this section shall not affect the cancellation or issuance of any policy.

(b) The Commissioner of Motor Vehicles shall receive or accept all notices of policy addition, cancellation and issuance or all policy information from insurers, as required pursuant to subsection (a) of this section. Said commissioner shall review and analyze the addition, cancellation and issuance data or policy information submitted, together with such other information as said commissioner may obtain from the insurers, from the records of the Department of Motor Vehicles, or from any other public or private agency or firm in possession of relevant information, for the purpose of determining whether any registered owner identified in any such notice has failed to continuously maintain insurance coverage in violation of sections 14-12c and 38a-371. In conducting such an inquiry to determine insured status, said commissioner may contact registered vehicle owners by mail and require that such mail inquiries be answered in not less than thirty days, in a satisfactory manner containing such information and verification of insurance coverage as said commissioner deems necessary and acceptable.
