Florida Gov. Rick Scott and state Chief Financial Officer Jeff Atwater promoted Deputy Commissioner David Altmaier to lead the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation, several media outlets reported on Friday.
Altmaier succeeds Kevin M. McCarty, who has served as the incumbent in this position since 2003. McCarty announced in early January that he wished to resign by May 2. He will stay with the department for another 60 days to help with the transition, according to the Tampa Bay Business Journal.
“Florida's insurance consumers will be in good hands under David's thoughtful and patient leadership and he will have the benefit of an exceptional team of individuals to assist him,” McCarty said in a statement.
