Summary
Rate-setting meetings happen in a first tier coastal county.
The bill requires the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association board to hold its probable maximum loss meeting and its annual rate-setting meeting in person somewhere in a first tier coastal county. It touches the association's board members and the coastal policyholders whose rates those meetings set. On the ground, board members must show up in person on the coast to have their votes count on loss estimates and rate filings, and remote votes no longer count.
