One of the most significant ways the National Risk Retention Association (NRRA) supports its members as well as the entire risk retention group community is through its education and advocacy work for risk retention groups (RRGs) and risk purchasing groups (RPGs). Read a summary of some of the advocacy related work NRRA has done on behalf of all risk retention groups and risk purchasing groups in 2024.

NRRA plans its third visit to Florida as discrimination of Risk Retention Groups continues.

In addition to fund-raising, NRRA continues its friend-raising: via a proactive effort to develop educational processes and alliances that will help support its efforts to find a legally fair and objective solution to the cause of this year’s earlier legislative crisis, as well as a favorable solution there for all RRGs in the state.

NRRA’s continuing campaign asserting its leadership role on both the regulatory and legislative battle fronts threatening RRGs includes planning in place for the upcoming legislative session this fall.

Following the conclusion of the 2023 Florida Legislative Session on May 5th, which ended without passage of Senate Bill 516, no time is being wasted waiting to see when the previously ill-conceived legislative phoenix might rise from the ashes there.

While the Bill successfully came out of every committee, including final passage by the House of Representatives, the legislative session ended as scheduled on Friday, May 5, 2023 with no action taken on Senate Bill 516.

THE “FIX” IS IN! – FLORIDA SB516 & H57 update. Committee votes on the bill are passing completely along partisan lines.

The Florida House Commerce and Senate Appropriations Committee hearings took place on Monday and Wednesday (April 10th & 12th) respectively. NRRA’s campaign efforts in opposition are already beginning to show some progress.

If passed, Florida Bill 516 will have a devastating impact on not only trucking and transportation risk retention groups registered in Florida, but actually every RRG writing commercial liability, including auto.

NRRA is now proactively engaged in opposing a very live bill in Florida with a proposed revision to Florida‘s motor vehicle law.
