Citizens Property Insurance Corp. faces viability concerns over commercial clearinghouse…
What happened
Citizens Property Insurance Corp. is facing viability concerns regarding its commercial clearinghouse push. Board Chairman Carlos Beruff stated during a recent meeting that the company is encountering issues with the numbers and implementation of the required clearinghouse. The company is currently considering a Brown & Brown subsidiary to administer one of the commercial clearinghouses required by law. The State Office of Insurance Regulation must review the plans, but they cannot proceed as things currently stand.

Why it matters
The push for the clearinghouse stems from Senate Bill 1028, which mandates that Citizens amend its governing platform, known as its Plan of Operation. The company must resolve these deficiencies before it can move forward with the mandated program. The issues arose with little time before a January deadline was due for the clearinghouse push.
Citizens Property Insurance Corporation operates within the Florida risk transfer market.
