AI Summary

This bill modifies the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund (FHCF) by updating its definition of "corporation" to refer to the State Board of Administration Finance Corporation, which is a change from the previous Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund Finance Corporation. It also adjusts the available coverage levels and aggregate coverage limits for reimbursement contracts, with a phased-in approach for these changes, and revises the exemption for medical malpractice insurance premiums from emergency assessments, extending the repeal of this exemption to May 31, 2016, meaning these premiums will be subject to assessments for losses occurring after June 1, 2016. Additionally, the bill removes outdated provisions related to temporary emergency options for additional coverage that were specific to hurricane seasons from 2007 to 2010.
