Towson Fraser, a spokesman for Florida Speaker of the House Allen Bense, R-Panama City, said that Republicans in the Florida House are "still looking" at the proposal, which would change how Florida deals with hurricane damages to a system similar to the National Flood Insurance Program.
Mr. Fraser did not dispute the idea that some reform is necessary to better help Florida homeowners find affordable insurance coverage for hurricanes.
