Official Summary

11/6/2007--Introduced.
Homeowners' Defense Act of 2007 - Establishes the National Catastrophe Risk Consortium as a nonprofit, nonfederal entity to:
(1) maintain an inventory of catastrophe risk obligations held by state reinsurance funds, and state residual insurance market entities;
(2) issue, on a conduit basis, securities and other financial instruments linked to catastrophe risks insured or reinsured through Consortium members; and
(3) act as a centralized repository of state risk information accessible by certain private-market participants. Instructs the Secretary of the Treasury to implement a national homeowners' insurance stabilization program to make liquidity loans and catastrophic loans to qualified reinsurance programs to:
(1) ensure their solvency;
(2) improve the availability and affordability of homeowners' insurance;
(3) provide incentive for risk transfer to the private capital and reinsurance markets; and
(4) spread the risk of catastrophic financial loss resulting from natural disasters and catastrophic events. Authorizes the Secretary to establish and collect, from qualified and precertified reinsurance programs, a reasonable fee to offset expenses of the program. Instructs the Secretary to require full repayment of all loans made under this Act.
