Summary


Section 624.424, Florida Statutes, requires insurers to file quarterly and annual financial reports with the Office of Insurance Regulation and allows the Office to enact rules setting the standards for those reports. By establishing up-to-date, uniform standards for annual and quarterly reports, this rule enhances the Office’s position under the statute. This rule ensures that all reports are in a standard format which provides the information needed to evaluate the insurer’s financial condition. In addition, by adopting the 2008 versions of the manuals, the Office is preventing any potential challenges from insurers who may protest the Office using manuals which have not been formally adopted.
