Code Ann. § 83-38-1","heading":"Purpose of chapter.","body":"The Legislature finds that an adequate market for fire and extended coverage insurance is necessary to the economic welfare of the State of Mississippi and that without adequate and affordable insurance the orderly growth and development of the State of Mississippi is severely impeded; that insurance upon residential property in Mississippi is necessary; that while the need for such insurance is increasing, the market for such insurance is not adequate; and that the existing Mississippi Rural Risk Underwriting Association Law that provides a residual market for residential property insurance in rural areas of the state should be expanded to provide a residual market for residential property insurance in both rural areas and other areas of the state. It is the purpose of this chapter to provide a mandatory program to assure an adequate market for residential fire and extended coverage insurance in both the rural and other areas of Mississippi.","path":["Title 83.
