What happened

Well supportedReported by 11 independent outlets

Florida has introduced legislative reforms, including a new law that shifts the liability burden onto insurers. Separately, the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation commissioned a study examining payments made by property insurers to affiliated companies. This study found that during 2017 through 2019, insurers reported $432 million in losses, while fees paid to affiliates generated $1.3 billion in net income for those companies. Furthermore, Citizens Property Insurance Corporation paused issuing new policies statewide due to the threat of a hurricane.

The state is addressing market instability, which has been driven by soaring premiums and litigation costs. Legislative changes are enabling insurance companies to reduce premiums and manage these costs. The state is also debating proposals, such as one from David Jolly, to remove hurricane risk from the private market and establish a state fund for insurance costs.
