Consumer Protection Coalition Opposes Senate Committee’s Passage of SB 1168
CPC urges Senate to take up House Bill 7015 to stop AOB abuseTALLAHASSEE, Fla. (Feb. 6, 2018) – The Consumer Protection Coalition (CPC) said today Senate Bill 1168 is a shortsighted, special interest bill that would do little to protect consumers from skyrocketing Assignment of Benefits (AOB) abuse. The Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday approved SB 1168 by Sen. Greg Steube, despite warnings from CPC members and industry leaders that it would not curb AOB abuse that is increasing homeowners’ insurance rates and threatening the affordability of home ownership for many Floridians. “
