Sec. 2121. (1) If an insurer uses an inspection of a dwelling to determine whether the insured or applicant is an eligible person for home insurance, criteria for selecting dwellings for inspection shall not be based on race, color, creed, marital status, sex, national origin, residence, age, disability, or lawful occupation.
(2) If an insurer establishes an inspection program that provides for inspection of a portion of its existing business on a periodic basis, the inspection program shall not be based on any of the criteria in subsection (1).
(3) Criteria for selecting dwellings for inspection shall be filed with the commissioner for informational purposes only. The commissioner, after a hearing held pursuant to the administrative procedures act of 1969, 1969 PA 306, MCL 24.201 to 24.328, shall disapprove the further use of inspection criteria if the commissioner finds that the criteria are inconsistent with this chapter.
(4) There is no civil liability, other than contractual liability, if applicable, on the part of, and a cause of action of any nature does not arise against, the commissioner, an insurer, an inspection bureau, an authorized representative, agent, employee, or affiliate of the commissioner, an insurer, or an inspection bureau, or any licensed insurance agent for acts or omissions related solely to the physical condition of the property in an inspection conducted for insurance purposes under this chapter.
