    Amends GS 58-36-15, adding subsections (d2) and (d3). Subsection (d2) requires a minimum amount of supporting data to be included in any property insurance rate filing where a catastrophe model is used.

A policy holder's total rate for property insurance will then be the sum of the two rate tiers meeting all of the enumerated requirements in (d3)(1-2).
