14         On page 69, between lines 29 and 30,

15

16  insert:

17         (r)  The corporation shall not require the securing of

18  flood insurance as a condition of coverage if the insured or

19  applicant executes a form approved by the department affirming

20  that flood insurance is not provided by the corporation and

21  that if flood insurance is not secured by the applicant or

22  insured in addition to coverage by the corporation, the risk

23  will not be covered for flood damage. A corporation

24  policyholder electing not to secure flood insurance and

25  executing a form as provided herein making a clam for water

26  damage against the corporation shall have the burden of

27  proving the damage was not caused by flooding. Notwithstanding

28  other provisions of this subsection, the corporation may deny

29  coverage to an applicant or insured who refuses to execute the

30  form described herein.
