The Office of Insurance Regulation believes that adopting an emergency rule is the fairest method to establish a timely transitional procedure to benefit the members of the public which have participated in the “My Safe Florida Home” Program. The substance of Form OIR-B1-1802 (7/07) has been the subject of a public workshop and a public rule hearing. The insurance industry, persons involved in the inspection industry, and building code experts have been involved in the development of the form. This rule is fair under the circumstances as it preserves the integrity of the proposed permanent form, and provides an expedited process to verify the results of inspections by qualified inspectors. An Office of Insurance Regulation bulletin addressed to all insurers would reach all insurers but would not be legally binding. Office of Insurance Regulation responses to individual requests for information would not make the information generally available. Thus, immediate implementation is needed to utilize the data gathered by the “My Safe Florida Home” Program, and permit homeowners to utilize the temporary form to timely receive the premium discounts and credits to which they are entitled.
