SB 833 - This act prohibits auto insurers from placing an
applicant in a high-risk category simply because the applicant
has not had prior automobile insurance coverage due to military
service. An insurer, however, may place the applicant in a high-
risk category if the applicant's driving record indicates he or
she is a high risk. Any insurer violating this act shall be
guilty of an unfair trade practice.
