Re: Commissioner's Order No. 03-1223, adoption of amendments to §21.1007 concerning restrictions on the use of underwriting guidelines based on previous mold damage, mold damage claims, a water damage claim, or appliance-related claims.

The Commissioner of Insurance, by Commissioner's Order No. 03-1223, has adopted amendments to 28 TAC §21.1007. The amendments concern restrictions on the use of underwriting guidelines based on previous mold damage, mold damage claims, a water damage claim, or appliance-related claims.

The Commissioner's Order and full text of the new rule may be accessed on our web site as follows:

The amendments are effective January 1, 2004. Although the amendments became effective January 1, 2004, the underwriting restrictions for mold damage and mold damage claims will not necessarily become operative until the Texas Department of Health adopts licensure rules for mold remediators and assessors. Any questions regarding this bulletin may be directed to Gary Julian at 512-322-2266 or Gary.Julian@tdi.state.tx.us.
