Representative Janet Long of Tampa is introducing a bill seeking to have the State of Florida pay for a study of public adjuster practices. We have many demands upon our state’s resources. Florida highly regulates the insurance industry, including the licensed public adjuster, as it must. There is simply no basis for thinking that the state’s limited resources need to be further depleted by another agency stepping in to police public adjusters. What showing has been made that Florida’s Office of Insurance Regulation is not providing any needed oversight and that your money should be spent on more agency investigation? None.
