Senator Allen — Senator Allen was welcomed by the chair and began introducing SB 495. The chair then asked whether he would accept the committee amendments, and Senator Allen responded inconsistently in the transcript, indicating that he would not accept the amendments.
SB495 — SB 495 is introduced and presented by Senator Allen as a bill addressing homeowners’ contents coverage after a total loss. The author explains that current law requires burdensome itemization and proof-of-loss requirements, and that the amended bill scales back the original proposal while still improving the claims process. As amended, it would increase inventory-free contents coverage to 60% of personal property limits up to $350,000, extend the proof-of-loss deadline to 100 days, and require insurers to provide annual reinsurance and catastrophe model data to the Department of Insurance. Supporters, including United Policyholders, argue that total-loss survivors should receive policy-limits payouts without onerous paperwork and endorse the amended approach. The committee then moves SB 495 to a due pass as amended vote, and the roll call continues.
