Crist Finally Pulls Trigger on Special Legislative Session on PIP

Crist Finally Pulls Trigger on Special Legislative Session on PIP

2 October 2007 · No Comments

Via a blog post at the Orlando Sentinel, I found this announcement from Tallahassee:

Governor Charlie Crist today expanded the call for the Special Session beginning October 3, 2007, to include Florida’s Motor Vehicle No-Fault Law, known as personal injury protection or PIP. The session was originally called by the Legislature on September 28, 2007, to focus on the 2007-08 budget.

“Personal injury protection insurance is very important to the people of Florida, and $10,000 in coverage provides a minimum safeguard,” said Governor Crist. “I am encouraging members of the House and Senate to reach consensus and ensure the continuation of this important consumer protection.”

It should be noted that mandatory PIP and certain other aspects of Florida’s mandatory insurance law lapsed yesterday…and that it’s rumored that a compromise has been struck among legiscritters, the details of which will become known during the session.
