Florida Office of Insurance Regulation

Tampa Bay Business Journal is starring our very own Commissioner Mike Yaworsky as 25 People to Watch Makes News in 2025: "Yaworsky has already earned a reputation that sets him apart from his predecessors. He took office in early 2023 on the heels of a historic industry crisis and set into motion an aggressive enforcement agenda that has reshaped his office — one of Florida’s most critical regulatory agencies.

His overarching responsibility for the market’s stability requires a degree of lobbying to convince carriers not to turn their backs on Florida." https://lnkd.in/ePANN_qE
