What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, a local governmental unit, including a city, county, town, village, or school district, may insure its property through the local government property insurance fund (property fund). The local governmental unit pays premiums into the state treasury for the benefit of the property fund.

This bill requires the commissioner of insurance to reduce a local governmental unit's premium for insuring property through the property fund, for premiums due beginning on October 1, 2009, and ending on September 30, 2010, for property insured in 2008 through the property fund by the amount the local governmental unit paid in premiums in 2008 on that property. The local governmental unit pays no premium, and receives no refund, if the premium paid in 2008 is higher than the premium due beginning on October 1, 2009, and ending on September 30, 2010.
