Welcome to

Jeb Bush says look for a special session on insurance reform in December.  The task force chaired by Lieutenant Governor Toni Jennings looking into Florida’s insurance crisis is due to present a report to the governor by November 15^th.  He says he’d like to see a session the following month.

“Yes, I hope,” Bush said.  “We’ll see after the election but we’ll have the recommendations by then.”

Among other recommendations, the reform panel would like to see the state make another effort to put uniform building codes in place, and allow insurers to write a broader variety of policies, including higher deductibles and less coverage, in order to bring down costs.
