In brief: Hundreds of Louisiana residents found themselves without coverage after an earthquake hit last year. A bill seeks to remedy that issue.
The full story
The bill, introduced in the General Assembly in Louisiana, seeks to require insurers to inform property owners as to whether or not they have coverage for earthquake damage - something that is allowed to be exempted in the state.
Those who have earthquake coverage would be informed annually of their coverage amounts while those who do not have it would be reminded that it is available.
Summing up
Lawmakers hope that this would increase the amount of coverage and decrease the number of property owners who find themselves without anything after an earthquake.
