Bill Summary
An act relating to limited agent licenses; amending s. 626.321, F.S.; renaming "portable electronics insurance" as "portable electronics or eyewear insurance" to include eyewear for purposes of insurance coverage and licenses; providing construction; defining the term "eyewear"; revising the definition of the term "portable electronics"; removing the obsolete definition of the term "portable electronics transaction"; amending ss. 626.221, 626.732, and 626.8685, F.S.; conforming provisions to changes made by the act; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill expands the scope of "portable electronics insurance" to include "eyewear insurance," meaning that licenses and regulations previously applied only to insurance for portable electronic devices will now also cover insurance for eyewear, which is defined to include smart glasses and non-electronic eyewear like prescription and non-prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses. The bill also revises the definition of "portable electronics" to be more comprehensive, encompassing a wider range of personal, portable electronic devices, and removes an outdated definition related to "portable electronics transactions." These changes are made to conform existing laws regarding limited agent licenses, examination requirements, and claims handling to the broadened definition of what can be insured under these limited licenses, with the new provisions taking effect on July 1, 2026.
