59A-32-21. Discounts for comprehensive coverage.
A. Any insurance company authorized to write private passenger automobile insurance within the state shall provide a minimum premium discount of ten percent for motor vehicles with passive anti-theft devices. These discounts shall apply to comprehensive coverage and shall be approved by the superintendent pursuant to Section 59A-17-13 NMSA 1978 as part of the insurer's rate filing. Some or all of the premium discounts required by this section may be omitted upon demonstration to the superintendent in an insurer's rate filing that the discounts are duplicative of other discounts provided by the insurer.
B. As used in this section, "passive anti-theft device" means any item or system installed in an automobile that is activated automatically when the operator turns the ignition key to the off position and that is designed to prevent unauthorized use, as prescribed by regulations of the superintendent. The "passive anti-theft device" does not include an ignition interlock provided as a standard anti-theft device by the original automobile manufacturer.
