Senate Approves Mold Claim Bill
The senate approved SB. 1763 by a 21-11 vote, that insurers would be forced to cover mold claims, a move that trade groups said could cause an availability crisis for homeowners insurance in the state. The bill would prohibit both commercial and personal insurers from seeking exclusions on mold coverage as an ensuing loss—a loss that followed a covered peril, such as a fire or a broken water pipe.
