The bill amends section 319.30 of the Florida Statutes to address electronic signatures related to total loss vehicles and vessels. It requires insurance companies to implement specific control processes and procedures to ensure the identity verification and integrity of electronic signatures. This includes maintaining security, confidentiality, and auditability of these signatures. The bill clarifies that an electronic signature consistent with chapter 668 will satisfy any signature requirement under this subsection.

Additionally, the bill removes the previous requirement that electronic signatures on odometer disclosures submitted through insurance companies must be executed in a specific manner involving defined assurance levels. This change simplifies the process for insurance companies while still ensuring that electronic signatures are valid and secure. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
