I support this bill which would establish a commission to study the impact that weather-related events have on home insurance availability and prices.

Immunizations have proven to be effective in preventing illness. Additionally, a well immunized population provides "herd" immunization that protects both immunized and non-immunized people.

Extreme weather has definitely made an impact on cost and it should be looked into. Thank you!

Establishes a commission to study the impact of extreme weather on the reinsurance market, and its effects on the cost and availability of property insurance in New Hampshire. Would analyze the effects of past extreme weather events on reinsurance rates, assess how future events will influence these rates, and evaluate the availability of reinsurance for small local carriers. Emphasizes the growing concern over rising insurance costs, which have increased by approximately 20% due to factors such as extreme weather events and their impact on reinsurance pricing.

The cost of Homeowners Insurance continues to rise with one of the main factors being extreme weather events. It is smart to establish a commission to study the impacts this could have on Granite Staters ability to access affordable homeowners insurance.
