Proposed Rule Would Provide Florida Sinkhole Database Content, Form
Nov 5, 2009
On November 4, 2009, the Florida Department of Financial Services (“DFS”), Division of Consumer Services held a Rule Development Workshop on Proposed Rule 69J-9.001, entitled “Database of Information Relating to Sinkholes.”
The DFS is required by law to consult with the Florida Geological Survey and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection to implement a statewide electronic database of sinkholes and related activity.
If adopted, the proposed Rule would provide the form and content of the database, which may include: standards for reporting and investigating sinkholes, requirements for insurers to report the receipt of sinkhole claims, past sinkhole claim activity and ground settling-related information.
With no public comments having been made at the Workshop, another public hearing will be scheduled to consider the proposed Rule.
Colodny Fass will provide further information on this hearing as details become available.
