SB 1702 allows certain structures that were canceled or nonrenewed by their voluntary market insurer to obtain coverage through TWIA.

This data call is designed to gather information that will enable TWIA to set a premium for structures eligible for coverage under SB 1702, which is based on the rate charged in the voluntary market for windstorm and hail insurance coverage in the catastrophe area.
