It is reported that the largest "private" Property Insurance Company in the State of Florida, State Farm, has told the Florida Office of Insurance Regulation that it will not issue new Homeowner's Insurance Policies.
State Farm will apparently remain on the risk to the thousands of Floridians from whom it collects Automobile Insurance Premiums, in addition to soliciting new Automobile Insurance business in Florida.
These decisions are certain to catch the notice of the members of the Florida Legislature, who will meet in early March for the 2008 Florida Legislative Session. It is unknown what actions if any will result. Julie Patel, "State Farm to Stop Selling Homeowner Policies in Florida" (South Florida Sun-Sentinel.com, Sunday, February 24, 2008).
