Overview

RULE:

69O-170.0155

Forms

PURPOSE:

This rule is being amended to adopt revised versions of Office of Insurance Regulation forms OIR-B1-1655, “Notice of Premium Discounts for Hurricane Loss Mitigation”, and OIR-B1-1802, “Uniform Mitigation Verification Inspection Form”. The forms are being revised based on changes to the My Safe Florida Home program and the experience of the Office of Insurance Regulation, insurers and policyholders with the forms since their last revisions in July 2007.

SUBJECT:

Section 627.711, Florida Statutes, required the Office to develop two forms. The first, OIR-B1-1655, is used by insurers to provide policyholders information about available windstorm mitigation discounts. The second, OIR-B1-1802, is used by home inspectors to verify the presence of windstorm-mitigation features on policyholder’s property so the insurer can calculate appropriate discounts. Because the free inspections and the grants offered by the My Safe Florida Home program are no longer available, Form OIR-B1-1655 is being revised to remove references to these programs. Form OIR-B1-1802 is being revised to use terminology commonly used in the construction industry in describing the construction features to be inspected and to require the inspector and homeowner to verify the inspector actually conducted the inspection.
