The provisional approval also permits a builder\u2019s risk policy to be issued by ZIP code for a one-year term and renewed for a maximum of five years when an emergency order is declared by the governor.<\/p>\n<p>The superintendent\u2019s provisional approval expires on June 20.<\/p>\n<p>New Mexico Senate Bill 81 amends the NM FAIR Plan Act. If passed by the Legislature and signed by the governor, the bill would increase property insurance coverage limits up to $750,000 for residential structures (up from $225,000- $350,000), and up to $2 million on commercial structures (up from $250,000- $1,000,000).<\/p>\n<p class=\"tagtag\"> <span class=\"tagtag\">Topics<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insurancejournal.com\/trends\/\" class=\"btn btn-sm btn-primary tagtag\">Trends<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insurancejournal.com\/location\/mexico\/\" class=\"btn btn-sm btn-primary tagtag\">Mexico<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insurancejournal.com\/location\/new-mexico\/\" class=\"btn btn-sm btn-primary tagtag\">New Mexico<\/a> <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-poll\" data-post=\"819050\">\n<div class=\"article-poll-vote\">\n<p>Was this article valuable?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"article-poll-feedback voted-no\">\n<form class=\"feedback-form\">\n<p>Thank you!
