Florida lawmakers have pondered repealing the state’s 1970 no-fault insurance law for more than a decade, coming close to doing so in three straight sessions before approving a hotly-debated, but ultimately overwhelmingly supported, revamp this year.
The debate, however, didn’t end when
Senate Bill 54 was adopted on April 30, the last day of the legislative session.
In fact, it intensified as insurers and state officials lobbied Gov. Ron DeSantis to veto SB 54, which would have required Florida’s 16.5 million do away with personal injury protection (PIP) and secure mandatory bodily injury (MBI) coverage by Jan. 1.
