The Developmental Disabilities Compact was established by Senate Bill 2654 and became law in May. Called the “Window of Opportunity Act,” Section 624.916, F.S. charged the Office of Insurance Regulation (Office) with developing and executing a compact relating to insurance coverage and access to services for persons with developmental disabilities.
Deputy Commissioner Senkewicz is the chairperson of this effort on behalf of Commissioner Kevin McCarty.
