PIP Reform and Other Insurance Bills Head to Governor
Governor Rick Scott was presented with several insurance-related bills on Friday, perhaps most notably including the bill reforming Florida’s Personal Injury Protection (PIP) laws. These bills passed during the recent legislative session. The Governor has 15 days from receipt of the bills to decide whether to sign them into law, allow them to become law without signing them, or veto them. Of course, he can sign them into law before the end of the 15-day period.
In addition to the PIP reform bill (HB 119), the Governor was presented with two bills relating to title insurance (HB 643 and 645), a bill pertaining to agents and adjusters (HB 725) and another general insurance bill (HB 941).
We will be monitoring the Governor’s actions on these bills and will be posting them to the legislative page of our website.
