The Republican-controlled Florida Legislature is almost halfway through its annual session, and the outcome is nearly as uncertain as annual hurricane forecasts.
While there are bills dealing with workers' compensation, the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund, and property insurance in general, there does not appear to be a universal consensus yet on the best way to approach any of these incredibly thorny issues.
Adding to the debate is a proposal from Rep. Ellyn Bogdanoff (R-Ft. Lauderdale), calling for a major restructuring of property insurance. Bogdanoff filed HB 1157 to establish the Florida Hurricane Protection Program, which would create a state-run entity that assumes just the hurricane risk for property insurance in the state.
