HB 2473 establishes an emergency insurance premium relief program for residential property insurance policyholders facing financial hardship. The program provides financial assistance for policyholders who own a homestead property appraised at $2 million or less and have delinquent insurance premium payments. A new emergency residential property insurance premium relief fund will be created in the state treasury, funded through legislative appropriations, private donations, and investment earnings. The Texas Department of Insurance will administer the program, determine eligibility, and make payments directly to insurers on behalf of approved policyholders.
