AI Summary

  • Creates the Strengthen Colorado Homes Enterprise to impose a 0.5% fee on homeowner's insurance premiums (exempting homes with resilient roofs) and fund grants to homeowners for installing weather-resistant roof systems certified by the Insurance Institute for Business and Home Safety

  • Establishes the Wildfire Catastrophe Reinsurance Enterprise to provide reinsurance payments to insurers for losses from state or federally declared wildfire disasters, funded through revenue bonds and a 0.5% fee on homeowner's insurance premiums (exempting wildfire-prepared properties)

  • Requires insurers participating in the reinsurance program to write policies in high-wildfire-risk areas proportional to their market share and reduce premiums in those areas to reflect reinsurance benefits

  • Both enterprises are governed by 5-member boards (insurance commissioner plus 4 gubernatorial appointees), may issue revenue bonds, and must each keep fee revenue under $100 million in their first five fiscal years

  • Appropriates $7,410,037 for FY 2025-26 to implement the enterprises; both programs are scheduled for repeal on September 1, 2035
