En el nombre del Padre, del Hijo, y del Espíritu Santo. Amén.

Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen. And never forget, members, we can do all things through Christ who strengthens us. Amen.

On behalf of Representative Hunter, Representative Bonnen offered the following amendment to SB 1448:

Amend SB 1448 (house committee report) by adding the following appropriately numbered SECTIONS to the bill and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS of the bill accordingly:
SECTION ____.  Section 2210.351, Insurance Code, is amended by amending Subsection (d) and adding Subsection (f) to read as follows:
(d)  The association may use a rate filed by the association without prior commissioner approval if:
(1)  the filing is made not later than the 30th day before the date of any use or delivery for use of the rate;
(2)  the filed rate does not exceed [105 percent of] the rate in effect on the date on which the filing is made; and
(3)  [the filed rate does not reflect a rate change for an individual rating class that is 10 percent higher than the rate in effect for that rating class on the date on which the filing is made; and
[(4)]  the commissioner has not disapproved the filing in writing, advising of the reasons for the disapproval and the criteria the association is required to meet to obtain approval.
(f)  The association may not file a rate under this section that exceeds the rate in effect on the date on which the filing is made unless two-thirds of the board of directors votes to approve the rate.
SECTION ____.  Section 2210.352, Insurance Code, is amended by amending Subsection (a-1) and adding Subsection (a-3) to read as follows:
(a-1)  The association may use a rate filed by the association under this section without prior commissioner approval if:
(1)  the filing is made not later than the 30th day before the date of any use or delivery for use of the rate; and
(2)  the filed rate does not exceed [105 percent of] the rate used by the association in effect on the date on which the filing is made[; and
[(3)     the filed rate does not reflect a rate change for an individual rating class that is 10 percent higher than the rate in effect for that rating class on the date on which the filing is made].
(a-3)  The association may not file a rate under this section that exceeds the rate in effect on the date on which the filing is made unless two-thirds of the board of directors votes to approve the rate.
SECTION ____.  Sections 2210.351 and 2210.352, Insurance Code, as amended by this Act, apply only to a rate filed by the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association with the Texas Department of Insurance on or after the effective date of this Act. A rate filed with the Texas Department of Insurance before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law as it existed immediately before that date, and that law is continued in effect for that purpose.
