Purpose


The Office of Insurance Regulation is creating rule 69O-171.012, to implement Section 627.4108, F.S., which was created by Section 19 of Chapter 2023-172, L.O.F. The statute requires that authorized residential insurers annually certify that their claims-handling manuals comply with the requirements of law and that the insurers provide copies of those manuals to the Office upon request accompanied by a certification. The statute requires that forms be created for both of these actions. This rule will create and incorporate OIR B3-495, the “Annual Certification of Claims-Handling Manuals” and OIR B3-496, the “Submission of Requested Claims-Handling Manuals” to meet those requirements.
