Citizens President and CEO Barry Gilway has long blamed heavy litigation for many of the industry's problems. "This is historic legislation," Mr. Gilway said last week on The Florida Insurance Roundup pod - cast hosted by insurance lobbyist Lisa Miller. "It's going to have a huge impact on this marketplace going forward." Mr. Gilway, who announced af- ter the special session that he plans to retire, said he thinks the legisla- tion will help draw new companies into the market, as they will not be stuck with past losses and will be able to charge actuarially sound rates. Heexpressedconfidencethat companies will take policies out of Citizens — though that might not come until late 2023 after the threat of hurricane damage subsides. "We're getting calls from inves- tors saying, 'Hey, is now the time to come in and provide capacity in thisoverall marketplace?" Mr. Gil - way said on the podcast.

But it's unlikely they would do it before that simply because they're not going to come in before the storm season." State leaders have long sought to keep policies out of Citizens, at least in part because of the risk that policyholders across the state could get hit with extra costs — known as assessments— ifCitizens can't pay all of its claims after a hurricane or multiple hurricanes. Along with trying to reduce liti- gation and taking steps to help in- surers obtain critical reinsurance, I awmakers also made changes spe- cifically geared toward Citizens.

Student athlete pay may vault THE NEWS SERVICE OF FLORIDA A measure filed Tuesday by a House Republican seeks to allow colleges, universities and their employees to steer endorsement opportunities toward student - athletes. The bill was filed for the 2023 Florida legislative session, which will begin in March. The proposal would make a ma- jor change to Florida's athlete -pay law, commonly known as a name, image and likeness law, which went into effect in July 2021. Under the law, compensation for student -athletes "may only be pro- vided by a third parry unaffiliated with the intercollegiate athlete's postsecondary educational insti- tution." Schools and employees, meanwhile, "may not compensate or cause compensation to be di- rected" to student -athletes. But the bill filed Tuesday would change that by allowing colleges, universities and employees to cause compensation to be directed to athletes. The proposal also would make clear that coaches and other em- ployees are not liable for "any damages to an intercollegiate athlete's ability to earn compensa- tion for the use ofher or his name, image, or likeness resulting from decisions and actions routinely taken in the course of intercol- legiate athletics." Rep. Chip LaMarca of Light- house Point, who filed the mea- sure, was a sponsor ofa 2020 bill that led to college athletes being able to get paid based on their names, images and likenesses.

Congress had the opportunity to achieve the latter by expanding the child tax credit before the end of the year, but lawmakers did not arrive at a deal with Republicans to in- clude it in the omni- bus spending pack- age The expansion. which was part of the American Res- cue Man, provided as much as 53.600 in monthly install- ments to qualifying families and is cred- ited with lifting 3.7 million children out of poverty, at least temporarily. Raising the min- imum wage would not lead to as fast or drastic an improve- ment, but a 2019 Con- gressional Budget 011ie analysis found that increasing the amount to 515 an hour would lift more than 500.000 chil- dren from poverty. And the Economic Policy Institute esti- mated in 2021 that if Congress passed a 515 minimum wage increase by 2025. up to 32 million people wouldn't have to live in poverty - 1.3 mil- lion of thou being children.

Mississippi has the highest child pover- ty rate in the United States at 27.6%, with Louisiana following at 263%. Zipperer said that many of these low minimum wage states are concen- trated in the south- ern U.S. for a rea- m. He pointed to the political deals lawmakers made to leave Black workers out of 1930s labor rights gains. which were done for the benefit of southern Democrats. "That legacy of racism plagued the legislation or vot- er -approved ballot measures that grad- ually increase the state minimum wage over several years 1r tie it to inflation. Washington ($15.74), California ($15.50) and Massachusetts (S15) will have some of the highest state minimum wages in 2023, although the high cost of living in thou states mit- igates the effect on poverty rates. In Missouri, where the minimum wage will be 812 this year, a 2018 analysis by the Economic Pol- icy Institute found that Proposition B, the ballot measure that is responsible for raising the wage. would increase wag- es for 677,000 peo- ple in Missouri.
