Diligent Effort / Disclosure Matrix
The FSLSO Diligent Effort / Disclosure Matrix details policy requirements if the coverage is exported.
The Diligent Effort / Disclosure Matrix was developed by the Florida Surplus Lines Service Office for the purpose of providing guidance on the diligent effort or disclosure requirement for each line of coverage, for both residential and nonresidential placements. Surplus lines agents should use the matrix as a reference tool for assistance with the diligent effort and disclosure laws pertaining to Florida surplus lines placements.
