The Florida House Economic Affairs Committee has advanced legislation to reform the state's no-fault Personal Injury Protection (PIP) program.

The bill, HB 119, now heads to the floor of the Florida House with less than two weeks left in the state-legislative session. According to the Florida Insurance Council, the bill needs to be merged with a Senate package, SB 1860, which comes before the Senate Budget Committee next week.

The House bill replaces the mandatory PIP no-fault insurance coverage with “emergency care coverage.”
