Jeff Atwater Plans to Fight for 'Consumer Friendly' Insurance Policies

Having been sworn in for a second term earlier this week, Florida CFO Jeff Atwater tipped his cards on Wednesday, offering highlights for what his agenda would be in the upcoming legislative session.

In an email sent out on Wednesday, Atwater wrote I intend to make Florida's insurance environment more consumer friendly in the upcoming session. Atwater also planned to back legislation to ensure our financial literacy programs reach a broader audience than ever before.

Atwater also offered a look back on his first term.

Throughout my career as a public servant, I have made it a priority to fight financial fraud, abuse and waste in government; reduce government spending and regulatory burdens that chase away businesses; and provide transparency and accountability in spending, Atwater noted. I am proud to say we have done all of these things during the last four years, but our goals for the next four years are even higher.
