What's New in Washington - Week of July 20, 2026

Washington — Premium Change Transparency (R 2024-07): We adopted the premium change transparency rule on July 2, 2026, and the rule takes effect on August 2, 2026. The original 2023 premium change transparency rule, adopted in Chapter 284-30A WAC, required greater insurer transparency around premium increases at renewal on insurance policies like residential property and private passenger auto. The Insurance Commissioner is now adopting rules to create a new phase two with additional insurer requirements and to delay the implementation date of the original phase two, proposed as the new phase three, until 2029.
