Treasury extends TRIA “Make Available” provision

The U.S. Department of the Treasury issued a Press Release stating that it is extending through 2005 the “make available” provision of the Terrorism Risk Insurance Act (TRIA). This provision requires certain insurers to make available in all their commercial property and casualty insurance policies coverage for losses due to covered acts of terrorism in a manner that does not materially differ from the terms, amounts, and other coverage limitations applicable to losses arising from events other than acts of terrorism.
