Purpose


The 2006 Legislature passed CS/CS for SB 1980 on Friday, May 5, 2006 and this Bill became law on May 16, 2006. Due to this legislation, emergency rules were necessary. On May 16 and May 31, 2006, respectively, Emergency Rules 19ER06-1 (19-8.010 Reimbursement Contract) and 19ER06-2 (19-8.013 Revenue Bonds Issued Pursuant to Section 215.555(6), F.S.) were filed and became effective. Pursuant to Section 120.54(4), Florida Statutes, these emergency rules are effective for only 90 days. Thus, the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (FHCF) is now entering into the rulemaking process to incorporate the changes made by the emergency rules into permanent rules.
