Stage en_commissionUpdated 3mo ago

This is a Belgian private member's bill, tabled in the Chamber of Representatives, that would amend the 4 April 2014 law on insurance. It proposes removing the ceiling on the compensation insurers must pay for damage caused by natural disasters. Such caps limit how much policyholders can recover after events such as floods or storms, so the change concerns how far insurance cover extends in those cases. This summary is based on the title and metadata only, not the full text. Policyholders with property or other insurance in Belgium could be affected, since the cap would no longer limit what insurers pay for covered natural disaster damage. Insurance companies would bear larger potential liabilities, which could affect their pricing and risk management. The bill's exact scope and any transitional rules would need to be checked in the full text.
