Any insurer licensed to write homeowner's insurance, as defined by the superintendent, within the state shall provide a minimum premium discount of ten percent for houses with electronic alarm systems designed to prevent unauthorized entry into the house. The insurer shall also provide a minimum premium discount of five percent for houses with wrought iron bars covering all the doors and windows of the house. These discounts shall apply to comprehensive coverage and shall be part of the insurer's rate filing. Some or all of the premium discounts required by this section may be omitted upon demonstration to the superintendent in an insurer's rate filing that the discounts are duplicative of other discounts provided by the insurer.
