Strengthen Mississippi Homes Act; create catastrophic windstorm damage mitigation program in Department of Insurance.

Summary

The bill would rename the current hurricane‑damage program, expand it to cover tornado and other catastrophic wind events, and let the Insurance Commissioner award up to $15,000 per property for mitigation work. It would fund the program with a new $50 fee on insurance agents, split between a dedicated program fund and the state’s general fund, and require an annual public report. The measure did not pass and died in committee.
