Florida House Unanimously Passes HB 767, Pushing for Greater Insurance Transparency

Florida state capitol building

Florida homeowners may soon get a clearer look at why their insurance premiums keep climbing. Lawmakers in Tallahassee have advanced a new measure, HB 767, designed to make insurers more transparent about the numbers behind their rate increases.

A unanimous 114-0 vote in the House signals just how urgently Florida leaders want answers for frustrated homeowners.

While HB 767 does not cap premiums or limit rate hikes, it would require insurers to publicly post certain rate and premium data that is not considered a trade secret. For policyholders, this means a long-awaited opportunity to finally understand how insurers calculate the prices they charge.

What HB 767 Means for Policyholders

Rep. Yvette Benarroch of Naples, who filed the bill, emphasized that transparency is a crucial first step in rebuilding trust between Floridians, insurance companies, and state leadership.

She explained that affordability challenges continue to pressure homeowners statewide, and insurance remains a major part of the struggle. Many constituents feel left in the dark regarding premium increases. HB 767 aims to change that.

If signed into law, the newly required data would be posted on the official state insurance website, making it accessible to consumers, real estate professionals, analysts, and anyone trying to make sense of Florida’s evolving insurance landscape.

The Bill Moves to the Florida Senate

With unanimous House approval, HB 767 now moves to the Senate for further consideration. If passed, residents may soon gain a valuable tool for understanding one of the most complex and frustrating aspects of homeownership in the Sunshine State.

For professionals in real estate, insurance, and property management, staying informed is essential. Regulatory shifts like these directly affect transactions, advisement, and long-term planning.
