Rick Scott Urges Floridians to Tell Senate to Back PIP Reform

Submitted by Anonymous on March 3, 2012 - 1:42pm

In his weekly address, Gov. Rick Scott thanked the Florida House for approving on Friday HB 119, which is aimed at reducing fraud in the personal injury protection auto insurance.

And he urged people to contact their legislators as the Senate bill, SB 1860, which takes a different approach to tackle fraud in the no-fault insurance program, comes up this week.

I am confident that the Florida Senate will stand with me on this issue, Scott stated. Personal injury protection fraud is taking money out of the pockets of hard-working Floridians.

It is time that lawmakers in Tallahassee put their constituents first and do something about this billion-dollar problem. The action taken by the Florida House this week is a good start. If we do nothing, Florida drivers will suffer by paying higher insurance premiums.

"I urge you to contact your legislators and tell them that you are ready for Tallahassee to address accident-fraud reform."
