Supporters of the 105-page bill said the changes are needed to stabilize the insurance market, which Sen. Doug Broxson, R-Gulf Breeze, likened to being in a “death march.” Republican leaders have acknowledged the bill likely would not lead to immediate rate reductions for homeowners. But they say it is designed, at least in part, to draw investments in the insurance market and spur competition.
