This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding a new section to Title 20, Chapter 6, Article 7 of the Arizona Revised Statutes. Specifically, it introduces a provision that prohibits insurers from canceling or refusing to renew fire insurance policies for a period of sixty days following the Governor's declaration of a state of emergency due to a natural disaster or wildfire. This restriction applies to insured individuals residing or located within a five-mile radius of the affected area.

The current law remains unchanged, but the new language explicitly outlines the conditions under which fire insurance policies cannot be canceled or non-renewed, thereby providing additional protections for policyholders during emergencies. This amendment aims to ensure that individuals in vulnerable areas maintain their fire insurance coverage when they may need it most.
