What happened

Well supportedReported by 8 independent outlets

Homeowners insurance in Florida is undergoing legislative scrutiny, with calls for comprehensive market reform. David Jolly proposes that hurricane and wind risk be removed from the private insurance market and placed into a state-backed catastrophe fund. This fund would carry the hurricane and wind risk, while private companies would continue to cover losses such as fire, theft, and some water damage. The market recovery has been uneven; while 50 of 67 counties saw rate decreases in 2026, some homeowners are still receiving non-renewal notices.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Jolly suggests that moving hurricane risk out of the private market could reduce homeowners' insurance costs by 60% to 70% if the state fund achieves a financially sound level. The market recovery has seen nearly 20 new insurance carriers enter or reenter the state since the 2022 and 2023 legislative reforms.
