To be considered for adoption:
- 69J-166.031: Mediation of Property Insurance Claims
Under the proposed amendment, mediation of claims for the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons, which previously have been governed by Rule 69J-2.003, F.A.C., would now be processed under Rule 69J-166.031, F.A.C.

Place: Room 116 of the Larson Building, 200 East Gaines Street, Tallahassee
To be considered for adoption:
- 69J-166.002: Mediation of Commercial Residential Property Insurance Claims
This proposed Rule would establish a mediation program for resolving disputed commercial residential insurance claims to be administered by the DCS. This proposed Rule would replace Rule 69J-2.002, F.A.C., which is no longer needed since the number of disputed commercial residential insurance claims being mediated through the outside vendor has significantly diminished.

- 69J-2.003: Mediation Procedures for Resolution of Disputed Personal Lines Insurance Claims Arising from the 2004 and 2005 Hurricanes and Tropical Storms
Mediation of claims for the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons has been governed by Rule 69J-2.003, F.A.C. Currently, there are few claims left to be mediated and therefore, the need for a special process to mediate those claims is no longer needed. Proposed Rule 69J-166.031, which establishes a mediation program administered by the DCS. To view the Notice for this Rule, click here.
