State Board of Insurance Record of Official Action
The State Board of Insurance convened to consider the designation of Catastrophe Areas, focusing on regions lacking reasonably available Windstorm and Hail Insurance for a substantial number of property owners. Pursuant to Senate Bill 31, the board designated specific counties as Windstorm and Hail Insurance Catastrophe Areas, including Aransas, Brazoria, Calhoun, Cameron, Chambers, Galveston, Jefferson, Kenedy, Kleberg, Matagorda, Nueces, Refugio, San Patricio, and Willacy. The establishment of these areas became effective on June 2, 1971.
