The bill amends section 626.7351 of the Florida Statutes to revise the qualifications for obtaining a customer representative license. It introduces new criteria that include the completion of a diploma from a Florida high school, specifically requiring the applicant to have taken an insurance and personal finance course as outlined in the newly created section 1003.4207. This section mandates the Department of Education, in collaboration with the Department of Financial Services, to develop a 0.5 credit course in insurance and personal finance, which will be available to school districts starting in the 2027-2028 school year.

Additionally, the bill specifies that the course must provide a comprehensive analysis of basic property and casualty lines of insurance, aligning with the instructional requirements set forth in the amended qualifications for the customer representative license. The effective date for this act is set for July 1, 2026.
