TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — Florida's largest property insurer wants sweeping changes, including the ability to charge higher rates, in the coming year.
It may be a hard sell during a contentious election year, but the board that governs Citizens Property Insurance voted on Monday to ask state legislators to approve a long list of changes during the upcoming session that starts in January.
Those in charge of the state-created insurer are pushing ahead with the changes at the urging of Gov. Rick Scott. Scott recently sounded warnings about Citizens, which has nearly 1.5 million policyholders, including many homeowners along the coast.
