Bill Summary

Deleting a provision relating to the reporting or payment of specified insurance premium taxes; requiring an insurer to pay to the Department of Revenue a specified amount of the direct written premiums for bail bonds, etc.

AI Summary

This bill amends Florida law to change how bail bond premiums are taxed. Specifically, it removes a provision that stated the reporting and payment of insurance premium taxes would not be affected by bail bond premiums, and instead requires insurers to pay the Department of Revenue a tax of 1.75 percent on the direct written premiums for bail bonds, excluding amounts kept by bail bond agents. This change aims to establish a specific tax rate for bail bond premiums, separate from other insurance premium taxes.
