13         Senate Amendment (with title amendment) 
14         On page 56, line 10, delete that line
15  
16  and insert:  
17         (4)  Any homeowner's insurance policy issued or renewed
18  on or after October 1, 2005, must include in bold type no
19  smaller than 18 points the following statement:
20         "LAW AND ORDINANCE COVERAGE IS AN IMPORTANT
21         COVERAGE THAT YOU MAY WISH TO PURCHASE. YOU MAY
22         ALSO NEED TO CONSIDER THE PURCHASE OF FLOOD
23         INSURANCE FROM THE NATIONAL FLOOD INSURANCE
24         PROGRAM. WITHOUT THIS COVERAGE, YOU MAY HAVE
25         UNCOVERED LOSSES. PLEASE DISCUSS THESE
26         COVERAGES WITH YOUR INSURANCE AGENT."
27         The intent of this subsection is to encourage
28  policyholders to purchase sufficient coverage to protect them
29  in case events excluded from the standard homeowners policy,
30  such as law and ordinance enforcement and flood, combine with
31  covered events to produce damage or loss to the insured
