Arkansas

On March 21, 2025, the Arkansas Insurance Department (AID) released Bulletin No. 06-2025 to issue a moratorium following severe storms and tornadoes in the state.

Arkansas has enacted Senate Bill 48, which, among other provisions, is adding clarification regarding deductible disclosure. The bill states that for owner-occupied residential property insurance policies, all deductibles included under the policy must be disclosed, as applicable, in a clear and conspicuous manner on the policy declaration page or notice of renewal. For owner-occupied residential property insurance policies that contain separate deductible levels by peril, the deductible amounts along with the policy's all other peril deductible, if applicable, must be displayed on the policy declaration page or notice of renewal.

On May 28, 2024, the Arkansas Insurance Department (ARID) issued Bulletin No. 7-2024 following severe weather that occurred in northwest and north central Arkansas. The weather occurred between May 24, 2024, and May 26, 2024, and resulted in a state of emergency being declared on May 26.

Following tornado events that took place in Arkansas on March 31, 2023, the Arkansas Insurance Department (AID) issued Bulletin 8-2023 on May 1, 2023 requesting that all property and casualty insurers (including Surplus Lines carriers) respond to its tornado disaster claims data call.

As a result of the severe storms and tornadoes on March 31, 2023 and April 1, 2023, the Arkansas Insurance Department (AID) and the Indiana Department of Insurance (IDOI) issued bulletins to insurers implementing a policy cancellation moratorium.
