- Proposed amendments to Rules 69O-144.005 and 69O-144.007 relating to “Credit for Reinsurance from Eligible Reinsurers” would conform corresponding Florida regulations to National Association of Insurance Commissioners (“NAIC”) model laws for accreditation purposes and consistency among regulatory jurisdictions as to the manner in which reinsurers are granted the status of “certified reinsurer” (currently termed “eligible reinsurer”) and the manner in which Florida domestic insurance companies can apply credit for reinsurance from these entities.
- Proposed repeal of Chapters 69O-123 and 69O-128 relating to Civil Remedy and Continuing Education. Florida statutes (Section 624.155 and 626.2816) grant enforcement authority to the Florida Department of Financial Services (“DFS”) for civil remedies against insurers and continuing education requirements, respectively. Therefore, the OIR does not have authority to enforce the Rules. The DFS has developed its own regulations to implement the law.
