       Senator Boyd moved the following:
       
    1         Senate Amendment (with title amendment)
    2  
    3         Between lines 525 and 526
    4  insert:
    5         (4) The department may adopt emergency rules pursuant to s.
    6  120.54, Florida Statutes, at any time, as are necessary to
    7  implement this section and s. 215.5586, Florida Statutes, as
    8  amended by this act. The Legislature finds that such emergency
    9  rulemaking authority is necessary to address a critical need in
   10  the state’s problematic property insurance market. The
   11  Legislature further finds that the uniquely short timeframe
   12  needed to effectively implement this section for the 2022-2023
   13  fiscal year requires that the department adopt rules as quickly
   14  as practicable. Therefore, in adopting such emergency rules, the
   15  department need not make the findings required by s.
   16  120.54(4)(a), Florida Statutes. Emergency rules adopted under
   17  this section are exempt from s. 120.54(4)(c), Florida Statutes,
   18  and shall remain in effect until replaced by rules adopted under
   19  the nonemergency rulemaking procedures of chapter 120, Florida
   20  Statutes, which must occur no later than July 1, 2023.

   23  And the title is amended as follows:
   24         Delete line 58
   25  and insert:
   26         appropriation of any unexpended balance; authorizing
   27         the Department of Financial Services to adopt
   28         emergency rules; providing legislative findings;
   29         providing that such rules remain in effect until
   30         replaced by rules adopted using nonemergency
   31         rulemaking procedures; providing for
