MODERATE
The bill was amended to simplify reporting requirements by removing detailed model descriptions and expanding the list of required data points. Additionally, a new section was added to authorize premium discounts for homeowners who complete specific mitigation actions, such as building hardening or community-level safety certifications.
Scope change
The bill's scope expanded from purely data reporting to include active premium incentives for policyholders who take steps to reduce disaster risk.
REQUIREMENT

Simplified the reporting section by removing the requirement to submit detailed descriptions, actuarial justifications, and trade secret protections for catastrophe models and scoring methods.

Condensed the list of required zip code-level data by removing 'paid loss ratios' and 'average premiums' from the original list, though these items appear to be re-listed in the new format.

Required insurers to post information about available mitigation discounts on their public websites and to clearly list these discounts on policy declarations pages.

Mandated that insurers report the number of insureds receiving mitigation discounts and the specific zip codes where those properties are located.

ELIGIBILITY

Added a new provision allowing insurers to offer premium discounts to policyholders who demonstrate property-specific mitigation actions (like building hardening) or community-level mitigation actions.
