AI Summary

This bill requires the Office of Insurance Regulation (OIR), a state agency that oversees insurance companies, to enter into an agreement with Florida International University (FIU) to improve a public model used for predicting hurricane damage. This enhanced model will be better equipped to forecast and evaluate both windstorm and flood damage caused by hurricanes, providing a more comprehensive assessment of potential losses. To support this initiative, $250,000 in non-recurring funds from the Insurance Regulatory Trust Fund is allocated to the OIR for the 2013-2014 fiscal year, and the act will become effective on July 1, 2013.
