A drive to expand insurance availability for New York State's hard pressed coastal homeowners and for modification of the state's new workers' compensation law top the Independent Insurance Agents & Brokers of New York (IIABNY) legislative agenda for 2008.
IIABNY said it is asking for improvements to the state's Coastal Market Assistance Program (C-MAP). Under C-MAP, the New York Property Insurance Underwriting Association (NYPIUA), which is the state-sponsored insurer of last resort, offers homeowners insurance to those who cannot find coverage through the standard market.
Currently, IIABNY noted, NYPIUA offers basic coverages such as wind and fire but excludes other coverages that homeowners require.
