(A) Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 38-77-122 and 38-77-123, an insurer may refuse to issue or renew an automobile insurance policy as defined in Section 38-77-30 on the basis of location of residence where the insurer has filed with the director a territorial plan setting forth the precise geographic areas of the state in which it will issue or renew policies. This territorial plan may not limit issuances or renewals to areas at any level smaller than a county, except that an insurer may include in its territorial plan an area smaller than a county which is contiguous to a whole county contained within the territorial plan provided, that the inclusion in the territorial plan of any such area at a level smaller than a county does not have the effect of excluding populations based upon any factors set out in Section 38-77-122(A) or Section 38-77-123(A)(1). The director must reject any territorial plan which violates the provisions of this section.
(B) No insurer or agent shall refuse to issue or fail to renew a policy of motor vehicle liability insurance solely because of the age of the motor vehicle to be insured, provided the motor vehicle is licensed.
