AIA said the proposal from State Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink would reduce the state reinsurance catastrophe fund coverage from $28 billion to $25 billion.

As a result, AIA said, the amount of money the cat fund would have to raise through the issuance of bonds and subsequent assessments on policyholders would be trimmed back.
