Hawaii has enacted Senate Bill 2964 which, among other provisions, requires homeowners insurers to provide written notice in paper format to policyholders at least once every two years informing the policyholder that they may submit information regarding improvements made to the insured residential property. The insurer should use such information to reevaluate the insured property’s replacement cost. If the dwelling coverage limit is less than the replacement cost, the insurer must offer the policyholder the option to purchase additional homeowners insurance to increase the dwelling coverage limit. Required conditions of this offer are described in the bill.
