Section 2210.502 - Adjustments to Maximum Liability Limits(a) Not later than September 30 of each year, the board of directors shall propose inflation adjustments to the maximum liability limits imposed under Section 2210.501 in increments of $1,000, rounded to the nearest $1,000, considering the limits imposed by Section 2210.501(b), at a rate that reflects any change in the BOECKH Index. If the BOECKH Index ceases to exist, the board of directors shall propose the adjustments in the same manner based on another index that the board of directors determines accurately reflects changes in the cost of construction or residential values in the catastrophe area.(b) An adjustment to the maximum liability limits that is approved by the commissioner applies to each windstorm and hail insurance policy delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed on or after January 1 of the year following the date of the approval. The indexing of the limits shall adjust for changes occurring on and after January 1, 1997.(c) The board of directors may propose additional increases in the maximum liability limits as the board determines necessary to implement the purposes of this chapter.(d) Notwithstanding Section 2210.501(b), the maximum liability limit imposed under Section 2210.501(b)(2) is frozen, and the indexing and adjustments provided by this section do not apply to that limit, until the limit imposed on a structure subject to Section 2210.501(b)(4) and the corporeal property located in that structure reaches or exceeds $2,192,000, at which time the limit imposed under Section 2210.501(b)(2) shall be indexed and adjusted as provided for a risk under Section 2210.501(b)(4).Tex.
