INSURANCE DEPARTMENT: Allows nonprofit organizations to provide additional resources to cover the cost of installing a fortified roof. (gov sig)

SB 299 amends Louisiana's Fortify Homes Program to explicitly allow nonprofit organizations to help homeowners cover costs for installing fortified roofs. It directly affects homeowners receiving program grants and nonprofit groups that can now provide additional financial support for roof installation. The key provision removes prohibitions against nonprofits assisting grant recipients with these specific costs, defining "nonprofit organization" as tax-exempt entities under federal and state law. This change streamlines support for homeowners seeking to strengthen homes against weather damage without altering the program's core grant structure.
