The Homeowners Insurance Bill
Homeowners insurance fee to fund fire water supplies
Relative to firefighting water supplies and a state cistern program
Bad for everyday people ·
If passed, the bill would add a new fee to homeowners insurance so the state can pay for fire water supplies and a cistern program.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
Households will see higher insurance costs, while fire departments get more money for water supplies, so citizens should weigh the extra expense against better safety.
