Bill Summary

Providing that an insurance policy may be delivered by electronic means; specifying the types of policies that can be delivered electronically; requiring that a paper copy of the policy be provided upon request, etc.

AI Summary

This bill amends Florida law to allow insurance policies to be delivered electronically, in addition to traditional mail or hand-delivery, within 60 days of coverage becoming effective. This electronic delivery option is specifically permitted for commercial risks, which include policies for workers' compensation, commercial auto, commercial property, and farm owner's insurance, among others. The bill requires that when a policy is sent electronically, the insured must be notified of their right to receive a paper copy instead, and if the insured requests a paper copy, it must be provided.
