Florida Department of Financial Services
Description
L egislation from 2002 placed the regulation of banking, securities and insurance under two appointed officials who are selected by the Financial Services Commission. The commission, which comprises the governor and Cabinet, appoints the commissioner of the Office of Insurance Regulation and the commissioner of the Office of Financial Regulation. Both offices are administratively housed in the Department of Financial Services but report directly to the Financial Services Commission.
The Office of Insurance Regulation has primary responsibility for regulation, compliance and enforcement of statutes related to the business of insurance and the monitoring of industry markets. Bureaus within the Division are organized into centers of regulatory expertise related to life and health, property and casualty, specialty lines and other regulated insurance entities. It is within the Office of Insurance Regulation that the mission of public protection is implemented through regulatory oversight of company solvency, policy forms and rates, market conduct performance and new company entrants to the Florida market.
The Office of Financial Regulation is responsible for supervising state-chartered banks, credit unions, savings associations, and international bank agencies, and licenses and regulates non-depository finance companies and the securities industry. The office defends the public from investment and securities fraud, and protects Florida’s citizens against entities that violate state laws and rules.
