| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Subchapter B, Chapter 1953, Insurance Code, is | ||

| Sec. 1953.053. RATE CONSEQUENCE PROHIBITED. An insurer | ||
| described by Section 1952.001 or a county mutual insurance company | ||
| may not assign a rate consequence on, or otherwise cause a premium | ||
| increase for, an insured's personal automobile insurance policy | ||
| based on the insured's involvement in an accident: | ||
| (1) arising from the insured's operation, maintenance, | ||
| or use of a motor vehicle covered by the insured's personal | ||
| automobile insurance policy; and | ||
| (2) for which the insured is determined to not be at | ||
| fault. | ||
| SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only | ||
| to a personal automobile insurance policy delivered, issued for | ||

| automobile insurance policy delivered, issued for delivery, or | ||
| renewed before January 1, 2018, is governed by the law in effect | ||
| immediately before the effective date of this Act, and that law is | ||
| continued in effect for that purpose. | ||
| SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017. | ||
