AN ACT
To amend chapter 379, RSMo, relating to insurance other than life by adding thereto one new section relating to the same subject.
Section A. Chapter 379, RSMo, is amended by adding thereto one new section, to be known as section 379.1000, to read as follows:
379.1000. If an insurance policy which provides coverage for damage to real or personal property excludes property coverage for intentional acts, the insurer shall not deny payment to an innocent coinsured who did not cooperate in or contribute to the creation of the loss if the loss arose out of a pattern of domestic violence and the perpetrator of the loss is criminally prosecuted for the act causing the loss. Payment to the innocent coinsured may be limited to his or her ownership interest in the property as reduced by any payments to a mortgagor or other secured interest.
