Catastrophe Insurance Support: New Program for Homes and Businesses

This new law establishes a federal reinsurance program to help insurance companies cover losses from natural disasters like hurricanes, floods, and wildfires. The goal is to stabilize the insurance market and potentially reduce costs for homeowners and businesses, while also encouraging loss prevention efforts. The program also introduces the possibility of multi-year insurance policies.
Key points
The U.S. government will create a program to support insurers in case of large losses from natural disasters, potentially leading to greater availability and stability of insurance for citizens.
Insurers participating in the program must offer policies covering a wide range of catastrophic risks and collaborate with clients on loss prevention activities.
A pilot program for property insurance policies with terms of at least 5 years will be introduced, which could provide greater cost predictability for property owners.
A reinsurance fund, financed by insurer premiums, will be established and can be backed by government bonds if needed, increasing the program's financial security.
