Hobby Jr. State Office Building, 333 Guadalupe Street, Tower 1, Room 100 Austin AGENDA: Docket No. 2352 to hear public testimony from insurers, agents, consumers, mortgage lenders, and any other interested parties on the coverage of roofs for residential property on an actual cash value basis rather than the current replacement cost basis provided in Texas homeowners policies. This is an information-gathering hearing which is being held for the purpose of soliciting input on the possible use of actual cash value coverage for residential roofs and to provide all interested parties with the opportunity to comment on the pros and cons of such coverage. All interested parties, including members of the general public, are invited to attend and provide comments and recommendations. Currently, the HO-B and HO-C homeowners policies provide replacement cost coverage for residential roofs, i.e., what the homeowner would pay to replace or repair the roof based on current construction costs. The Texas Legislature amended Article 5.35 of the Insurance Code (Acts 1997, 75th Leg., ch. 1330, sec.13, eff. Sept. 1, 1997) to authorize the Commissioner to approve endorsements to the HO-B and HO-C policy forms, as well as other policy forms of national insurers or national organization of insurance companies currently provided under the HO-B and HO-C homeowners policy forms. As a result, some insurers have filed to provide actual cash value coverage for residential roofs in lieu of the current replacement cost coverage. The Commissioner has not yet acted on any of these filings. No specific filing is being considered in this hearing, but the information obtained may be used in considering the Commissioner's action on these filings. This hearing is held pursuant to the Insurance Code, Articles 1.04C, and 5.35. Article 1.04C requires the Commissioner to provide the public with a reasonable opportunity to appear before the Commissioner and to speak on any issue under the jurisdiction of the Commissioner. Article 5.35 authorizes the Commissioner to adopt or approve policy forms and endorsements for residential property insurance in Texas. Anyone wishing to comment on this matter is requested to complete a witness care which will be available at the hearing site immediately prior to the hearing.
