HB 3320 establishes a property and casualty self-insurance pool for religious institutions, authorizing churches, nonprofit religious organizations, and religious denominations to form a self-insurance pool to cover property damage, liability, and related risks. The bill defines the pool as a non-insurer entity and exempts it from certain state insurance regulations while requiring governance by a board of trustees. It includes provisions for financial stability, premium rates, security requirements, reinsurance mandates, and member obligations. The Texas Department of Insurance is authorized to oversee compliance, and penalties apply for noncompliance. The bill also establishes rules for recordkeeping, investment strategies, and member liability, ensuring that participants in the pool bear joint financial responsibility.
