RECORDING – 2022 Florida Property Insurance Special Session 
May 27, 2022 at 3:00 PM

Citing frivolous lawsuits and other adverse conditions contributing to instability in the Florida property insurance market, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis issued a proclamation on April 26, 2022 calling on the Florida Legislature to convene a special session regarding property insurance. On May 20, 2022, Representative Trumbull and Senator Boyd filed HB 1-D and SB 2-D, respectively. These bills, as amended, are substantially identical and contain several property insurance reform measures. SB 2-D passed in the Senate on May 24th and passed in the House on May 25th. The Governor signed the bill into law on March 26th. In this webinar, we will provide an in-depth analysis of each section of the reform and discuss the implications on the property reinsurance market.
