12  
13         Senate Amendment 
14         On page 57, lines 23-29, delete those lines
15  
16  and insert:  
17         (b)  The legislative intent of this subsection is to
18  ensure payment of policy benefits due in the event of a total
19  loss without allowing an insured to receive any payments
20  exceeding those necessary to repair, rebuild, or replace the
21  insured structure, as may be necessary following a total loss.
22  In furtherance of this intent, when a loss is caused in part
23  by a covered peril and in part by a non-covered peril, the
24  insurer's liability under this section shall be for the amount
25  of money for which the property was insured, but if payment of
26  this amount would exceed the amount necessary to repair,
27  rebuild, or replace the structure, as may be necessary
28  following a total loss, the insurer's liability shall be in
29  the lesser amount as would, when added together with all other
30  benefits actually paid for the subject loss, satisfy the total
31  cost to repair, rebuild, or replace the structure.
