workers comp rates

Leaders of the Florida Roofing and Sheet Metal Contractors Association urged state regulators to freeze the roofing industry’s rates, rather than approve a decrease that would take effect in 2025.

The state Office of Insurance Regulation matched a 15.1 percent decrease requested in August by the National Council on Compensation Insurance, which makes rate filings for the industry.

The vehicle-rental measure sets insurance and other requirements for people who take part in peer-to-peer car-sharing programs.

The decrease is effective Jan. 1. It will be the fourth consecutive year that workers’ compensation premiums have been reduced.
