With respect to any fire, marine, or casualty insurance contract, no person may deny, refuse to renew, cancel coverage, or charge increased premiums for applicants or insureds solely as a result of a uniformed service member's performance of active military duty in the United States armed forces or as a member of a reserve component of the United States armed forces, to include the National Guard of a state or territory, because ethe uniformed service member fails to meet underwriting standards that require continuous coverage unless the failure to maintain continuous coverage existed prior to the rapplicant's or insured's entry into active duty status and was not related in any way to the applicant's or insured's military service. For the purposes of this section, service in the National Guard includes any full-time active duty for training in the National Guard, active duty operational support, active duty special work, state active duty as a memtber of a National Guard unit, or any other periods of service pursuant to Title 32 of the United States Code or active service of the state or territory. For purposes of determining premiums, an insurer shall consider such persons as having maintained continuous coverage.
