Upcoming Bills in 2022 Florida Legislature

01/18/2022 Upcoming Bills in 2022 Florida Legislature


INSURANCE RATE INCREASE

With 2022 being an election year, the overall rate increase stymied in 2007 by Charlie Crist, may inevitably raise its head again since Crist is again running for Governor of Florida. Potentially a twelve (12%) percent increase could be passed on to everyone.

Cash Value or Replacement Value

During last year’s (2021) session, the Florida Senate passed a Bill allowing actual cash value in lieu of replacement value for roofs, however it was not passed in the Florida House. If proposed again, this will greatly assist in establishing premiums for those who wish reduced premiums and relies upon educating Consumers for choosing materials suitable for the location of their properties.

Maintenance Inspections

A bill HB771 proposed by Rep. Alex Andrade (R-Pensacola) would direct the Florida Building Commission to develop statewide standards for the maintenance and periodic inspection of existing building structures or facilities.

Searchable Database to confirm Associations are fully funded

A bill HB329 proposed by Rep. Nicholas Duran (D-Miami-Dade) would require the Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR) to establish a searchable database of condominium and homeowners’ associations’ information, including whether the association has reserve accounts for capital expenditures and deferred maintenance, and if they are fully funded.

Investigating Associations

A bill SB880 proposed by Senator Jason Pizzo (D-Miami), would expand the jurisdiction of DBPR in investigating complaints about condo associations and revise criminal penalties for misdeeds.

What to do now...

As they say, there is no time like the present to get affairs in order. Wesley Management Company assists Associations to identify and develop estimates and budgets for required or deferred maintenance. Please give us a call, we would be happy to hear from you.
