Delaware Insurance Commissioner Matt Denn and state legislators on Friday unveiled legislation to ban all use of credit scores in setting auto and homeowner insurance rates. In 2006, a similar bill was amended to ban use of credit scores only on auto and homeowner insurance policy renewals and passed the Senate, but was not brought up for a vote in the House of Representatives. If passed, Senate Bill 31 would make Delaware one of the strictest states in the country on the issue of credit scoring in insurance.
