Citizens bill fails in Florida House

A bill that would have given additional insurance companies the opportunity to take over policies from state-backed Citizens Property Insurance is off the table, after the House, which originally passed the bill, rejected changes made by the Senate. “We’re finished with it for this year,” said Rep. Jim Boyd, who sponsored the bill. Proponents of the bill had claimed that it would make Citizens smaller, while critics worried over the risks of untested companies. [Sun Sentinel]
