This bill amends section 319.30 of the Florida Statutes to enhance the regulations surrounding electronic signatures related to total loss vehicles and vessels. It mandates that insurance companies or their authorized agents must implement specific control processes and procedures to ensure adequate identity verification and the integrity, security, confidentiality, and auditability of electronic signatures. This new requirement aims to strengthen the handling of electronic signatures in the insurance process.

Additionally, the bill removes the previous stipulation that electronic signatures on odometer disclosures submitted through insurance companies must be executed in a specific manner that adhered to certain assurance levels defined by the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2026.
