AI Summary

  • Urges the United States Congress and President to reauthorize the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program (TRIPRA)

  • Notes that the September 11, 2001 terrorist attack resulted in $32.5 billion in insured losses, the second most costly insurance event in U.S. history

  • Identifies that without federal terrorism reinsurance, insurers exclude terrorism coverage from commercial policies, limiting availability and affordability for businesses and consumers

  • States the current TRIPRA structure includes a $100 billion annual aggregate loss cap, requires insurers to cover 15% of residual losses after a threshold is met, and mandates 100% federal recoupment through policyholder surcharges when losses are under $27.5 billion

  • Directs the Principal Clerk to transmit certified copies to the President, Congress, and North Carolina's Congressional delegation
