HB 1343 Florida House · 2026 Regular Session

Insurance Customer Representative Licensing Qualifications

HB 1343 revises Florida's requirements for obtaining an insurance customer representative license. It expands qualifying pathways by adding specific industry designations (like AAI, CIC, or CPSR) and mandating a new high school course in insurance and personal finance. The bill requires Florida schools to develop a 0.5-credit course by 2027, covering property and casualty insurance basics, for use starting in the 2027-2028 school year. This directly affects current license applicants seeking alternative qualifications and future students who may complete the high school course. The changes take effect July 1, 2026.
