Why it matters
The policy shedding is attributed to legislative changes that allow the agency to transfer policies to private carriers. Citizens Property Insurance President Timothy Cerio stated that the market is working due to these changes, while Board Chairman Carlos Beruff expressed concern that the agency should not exist.
Ron DeSantis signed a bill into law, successfully pushing policies out of the agency Citizens after both legislative bodies passed it.
