Florida: Law and Ethics Update for Public Adjusters (5-320)

COURSE DESCRIPTION & LEARNING OBJECTIVES

This course follows the requirements of the Florida Department of Financial Services with respect to the updating Florida law and regulations through December 31, 2019. The essence of the laws, statutes, and regulations is followed. The course is presented in a plain English format wherever possible, rather than the formal and technical language of legal documents that is often difficult to understand. Still, the effect of the law is not lost.
