CS/HB 1-A, passed by the Florida Legislature during the
2007 Special Session and signed into law by the Governor on
January 25, called for the creation of a Windstorm
Mitigation Study Committee.
The study committee consists of 8 members, with the
Governor, Chief Financial Officer, Senate President and
Speaker of the House each making two appointments. Each
member must be knowledgeable about mitigation issues and at
least one member must represent homeowners’ interests. The
first meeting must be held before February 9, 2007.
The Department of Financial Services, Office of Insurance
Regulation, and Citizens Property Insurance Corporation must
supply meeting facilities, information and technical
assistance.
The Department of Financial Services will administratively
support the study committee and its members.
The study committee is charged with analyzing short- and
long-term solutions and programs that address our need to
immediately and effectively mitigate homes, including:
-
Availability of inspections and grants
-
Full actuarial value to be reflected in
premium credits for mitigation
-
Effective ways to inform policyholders
about obtaining mitigation credits
-
Coordination among federal, local and
private initiatives
-
Streamlining or strengthening applicable
state, regional and local regulations.
-
Enhancing public and private mitigation
efforts
-
Available funding sources for mitigation,
including tax incentives
-
Consumer information and research on
benefits of mitigation
The study committee must make
recommendations, including proposed legislation, to the
Governor, Senate President, House Speaker, Chief Financial
Officer and Insurance Commissioner by March 6, 2007.
