(a) Unless authorized by a statute enacted subsequent to the effective date of this section, the authority shall cease writing new earthquake insurance policies 180 days after implementation by both the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association (“Freddie Mac”) of policies to require earthquake insurance for any single-family residential structure, other than a condominium unit or townhome, as a condition of purchasing a mortgage or trust deed secured by that structure. Notwithstanding this restriction, the authority shall continue to renew its existing earthquake insurance policies and shall accept applications for earthquake insurance from residential property insurance policyholders of participating insurers in accordance with subdivision (b) of Section 10086.
(b) In the event that both the Federal National Mortgage Association (“Fannie Mae”) and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Association (“Freddie Mac”) have proposed to implement policies to require earthquake insurance for any single-family residential structure, other than a condominium unit or townhome, as a condition of purchasing a mortgage or trust deed secured by that structure, it is the intent of the Legislature that the Legislature should convene to consider whether the authority should continue to write new earthquake insurance policies, with or without modification, or to cease writing new earthquake insurance policies.
