“As you know, that our decision in June to terminate the coverage of risks Builder’s caused quite Ripple entire Florida, especially in southern Florida, but not necessarily that southern Florida,” says Bruce Douglas The governor of the citizens board chair. “Our decision was correct, in our opinion and according to the Office of Insurance Regulation and Chief Financial Officer of the State.”

1 Henceforth, the citizens of the risks renew Builder’s policy, but only on its rate of payments until December 31, 2006.
2 Citizens are now write Builder’s political risk to December 31, 2006 at the rate of payments so that the time needed to stabilize the market and I hope that volunteers or fire lines markets and write in these policies.

Gallagher said that Florida could be an economic crisis, when the owners failed to get coverage. He noted that because OIR did not specifically designated citizens to establish written policies, he felt “this regime must be made available by the citizens.”
“I also have a letter Insurance Commissioner Kevin McCarty on July 20 expressed its concern on the non-availability current [Builder’s cover risks], and invites us to rethink,” said Douglas.
Members of the Board of Directors at the meeting that Bruce Douglas, chairman, John Collins, John Horton Earl Collins Jr., chairman of the Committee of reinsurance; Odom Jay Fletcher and Gloria.
“Our action today is a serious response to market conditions for the risk Builder,” said Douglas. “We in this activity since the 1970’s, there is a law or directive indicates that we Must-Carry-risk Builder, but we are doing this because the market requires, the economy of Florida needs some able to plan.
Odom said the board, it was Builder’s looking for cover risks and has been unable, for all.
“While citizens made the right decision and 30 days under normal circumstances, we should not in these cases, these are not normal times and builders risk coverage is virtually unavailable in Florida,” said Odom. “I searched high and low. At the moment, while the economy of Florida, we have no other choice but to do so.”
