Effective Advocacy and Representation with the State of Florida
Since our official incorporation organization in 1989, Specialty Agents has taken an aggressive role in representing agent issues with both the legislature and the Department of Insurance.
Against considerable opposition, we convinced the legislature to pass a $10 PIP application fee, an MVR cost reimbursement fee and the bad check cancellation provisions.
Our two main initiatives, an expanded application fee and disclosure requirements for the sale of ancillary products, continue to be our legislative targets. After only 10 years, Specialty Agents has grown to be a force in Tallahassee and a formidable advocate for agent rights.
In 1996, Specialty Agents joined with our sister associations in California, Georgia, Texas and other interested agents throughout the US forming the National Auto Agents Alliance. The group was formed to fight for agent issues at the national level and to assist other states in organizing local organizations to fight local battles for their agent members.
The mission of Specialty Agents is to improve the professionalism and financial standing of our member agents in Florida while serving the needs of Florida's consumer motoring public. We work to accomplish those goals through education of our members, improved public awareness of the value of an agent, legislative initiatives and aggressive interaction with the Department of Insurance.
