Purpose


Section 624.424(8)(d), F.S., was amended to require that CPAs preparing annual reports for insurance companies must have four hours of insurance related continuing education every 2 years. This amends Rule 69O-137.002 to add that continuing education requirement to the qualifications for a CPA preparing the annual report. Rule 69O-137.009, F.A.C., and Form OIR-D0-1185 are being amended to implement changes to Section 624.424(10) F.S. Those changes require that data collected from personal and commercial residential property insurance companies will be reported by zip code, not county, and those reports will be submitted on a monthly, rather than quarterly, basis. The changes to Form OIR-D0-1185 will allow insurers to submit that data as required beginning with the January 2025 data which is due on February 15, 2025. Rule 69O-137.011 is amended to update Form OIR-D0-1433 to conform with current law and industry practice, and update the laws implemented. Creates Rule 69O-137.015 and Form OIR-A1-1680 to provide a standard format for data being provided by insurers who are planning to nonrenew 10,000 or more residential property insurance policies within a 12-month period. This report is required by section 624.4305, F.S.
