What’s in it
This bill provides that an insurer that has issued a fire and casualty insurance policy for the payment of damages to real property located in a city must reserve an amount equal to $20,000 or 20 percent of the payment for damages, whichever is greater, as a demolition cost reserve. Currently, the required amount is $10,000 or 10 percent of the payment, whichever is greater. A city can claim proceeds from the reserve if the city incurs costs to demolish a building where the damage to the property renders it uninhabitable or unfit for its purpose, without repair, and proof of loss indicates that damage to the insured structure or building exceeds 75 percent of the face value of the policy covering the building or structure.
