Governor Bentley Creates Coastal Insurance Commission
MONTGOMERY- Governor Robert Bentley today signed an Executive Order creating a commission to study and address the rising cost of insurance for coastal homeowners. The Governor’s Coastal Insurance Commission will address the need for affordable and comprehensive insurance for Alabama’s residents on the gulf coast and make recommendations to the Governor.
“The lack of affordable homeowners insurance for people who live on Alabama’s coast impacts the entire state far beyond the coastal communities in which their homes are located.” Governor Bentley said. “We must stop the rising cost of coastal insurance for the benefit of all Alabamians.”
The Governor’s Coastal Insurance Commission will consist of seven members appointed by the Governor. The Commission will make reports to Governor Bentley at his request.
