4. FLORIDA HURRICANE CATASTROPHE FUND:

(A) The Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund requests that the Trustees approve filing the following rules for adoption to implement the 1998-1999 contract year: the amendment of Rule 19-8.010 to adopt the reimbursement contract for the 1998-1999 contract year; and new rules 19-8.024, regarding definitions for the 1998-1999 contract year, 19-8.025, regarding the 1998 premium formula, 19-8.026, regarding the 1998 insurer reporting requirements. The proposed new and amended rules were the subject of a rule development workshop on February 5, 1998, were approved by the Advisory Council for filing for notice on March 5, 1998, were approved by the Trustees to file for notice on March 10, were the subject of a rule hearing on April 16, were approved by the Advisory Council to file for adoption on April 16, and were not subject to any objections by the Joint Administrative Procedures Committee.

 

(B) The Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund requests that the Trustees approve filing the following rule for repeal: Rule 19-8.008, as unnecessary. This rule recites that the Department of Insurance shall enforce any violation of Section 215.555 as if it were a violation of the Florida Insurance Code. This rule duplicates existing Section 215.555(10) and is therefore not needed. The Advisory Council approved filing the repeal of this rule for notice on March 5, 1998; there was no objection at the rule hearing on April 16; the Advisory Council approved filing for adoption on April 16; and there were no objections from the Joint Administrative Procedures Committee. (Backup to follow.)
