Emergency Order to Provide Relief to Policyholders

Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty has issued an Emergency Order
prohibiting insurers from canceling or non renewing policies covering
dwellings or residential properties damaged by Hurricane Dennis.

This Emergency Order, effective July 10, is similar to action taken in
2004 by the Florida Cabinet and later codified into law by the 2005
Legislature in SB 1486 to assist those impacted by damage from hurricanes
during and for 90 days after repairing their properties.  This
Emergency Order is applicable to surplus lines policies.
