(a) “Catastrophe savings account” means a regular savings account or money market account established by an insurance policyholder who is a state income taxpayer (i) to pay an insurance deductible under an insurance policy that covers the taxpayer’s legal residence that covers hurricane, flood, windstorm or other catastrophic event damage, (ii) to pay for catastrophic event damage to the taxpayer’s legal residence that is not covered by the policy of insurance that covers the taxpayer’s legal residence for such damage after the deductible under such policy has been paid, or (iii) to pay self-insured losses for the taxpayer’s legal residence from a hurricane, flood, windstorm, or other catastrophic event. The account must be labeled as a “catastrophe savings account” in order to qualify as a catastrophe savings account for the purposes of this article. A taxpayer may establish only one (1) catastrophe savings account and shall specify that the purpose of the account is to cover the aggregate amount of insurance policy deductibles and other uninsured portions of risks of loss from a hurricane, flood, windstorm or other catastrophic event.

(b) “Catastrophic event” means windstorms, cyclones, earthquakes, hurricanes, ice storms, tornadoes, high winds, flood, hail and force majeure, and similar perils not normally among those covered under most property casualty insurance policies, but obtainable through the purchase of wind, wind and hail, flood, or storm or windstorm coverage, or any combination of those coverages. The term “catastrophic event” also includes any event or occurrence for which a Presidential declaration of disaster or declaration of disaster by the Governor is issued.
