  • Allows insurers to use weighted averages of hurricane loss projection models in rate filings, not just straight averages, when models are approved by the Florida Commission on Hurricane Loss Projection Methodology.

  • Exempts personal lines residential structures with dwelling replacement cost under $900,000 and single condominium units with combined replacement cost under $900,000 from the 10 percent annual rate increase cap for Citizens Property Insurance Corporation.

  • Modifies Citizens Property Insurance Corporation eligibility by making renewal applicants ineligible if private market offers exceed 5 percent of the corporation's renewal premium, and allows them to remain eligible if the private market premium exceeds that threshold.
