Sep 29, 2008

Florida Governor Charlie Crist today, September 29, 2008, announced three appointments to the Citizens Property Insurance Corporation (“Citizens”) Mission Review Task Force.

The Citizens Mission Review Task Force was created to analyze and compile available data, and to develop a report on the statutory and operational changes needed to return Citizens to its former role as a state-created, noncompetitive residual market mechanism that provides property insurance coverage to risks that are otherwise entitled but unable to obtain such coverage in the private insurance market.

The first Citizens Mission Review Task Force meeting will take place at 10:00 am (EDT) on Friday, October 10, 2008, at the Tampa Airport Marriott.

Items of discussion will include the requirements of the Task Force as outlined by Florida law.
