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