    5  insert:
    6         Section 61. Subsection (1) and paragraphs (a) and (b) of
    7  subsection (2) of section 627.744, Florida Statutes, are amended
    8  to read:
    9         627.744 Required preinsurance inspection of private
   10  passenger motor vehicles.—
   11         (1) A private passenger motor vehicle insurance policy
   12  providing physical damage coverage, including collision or
   13  comprehensive coverage, may not be issued in this state unless
   14  the insurer has inspected the motor vehicle in accordance with
   15  this section. The physical damage coverage on the motor vehicle
   16  may not be suspended during the term of the policy due to the
   17  applicant’s failure to provide the required documents. However,
   18  payment of a claim may be conditioned upon the receipt by the
   19  insurer of the required documents, and no physical damage loss
   20  occurring after the effective date of the coverage is payable
   21  until the documents are provided to the insurer.
   22         (2) This section does not apply:
   23         (a) To a policy for a policyholder who has been insured for
   24  2 years or longer, without interruption, under a private
   25  passenger motor vehicle policy which provides physical damage
   26  coverage on any vehicle, if the agent of the insurer verifies
   27  the previous coverage.
   28         (b) To a new, unused motor vehicle purchased or leased from
   29  a licensed motor vehicle dealer or leasing company, if the
   30  insurer is provided with:
   31         1. A bill of sale or buyer’s order or lease agreement which
   32  contains a full description of the motor vehicle, including all
   33  options and accessories; or
   34         2. A copy of the title or registration which establishes
   35  transfer of ownership from the dealer or leasing company to the
   36  customer and a copy of the window sticker or the dealer invoice
   37  showing the itemized options and equipment and the total retail
   38  price of the vehicle.
   39  
   40  For the purposes of this paragraph, the physical damage coverage
   41  on the motor vehicle may not be suspended during the term of the
   42  policy due to the applicant’s failure to provide the required
   43  documents. However, payment of a claim is conditioned upon the
   44  receipt by the insurer of the required documents, and no
   45  physical damage loss occurring after the effective date of the
   46  coverage is payable until the documents are provided to the
   47  insurer.
