The HBAGNO formed a (Property) Insurance Task Force (ITF) in 2022 to address rising premiums on wind/hail and HO policies. Louisiana passed the most resilient building codes under the IRC2021 standards in 2022. On January 17, 2023, the HBAGNO Board passed a resolution supporting solutions to ensure these new codes are implemented in accordance with law, particularly as they apply to reroofing.
