  358         (a) Falsely indicates that he or she personally inspected
  359  the structures referenced by the form;
  360         (b) Falsely indicates the existence of a feature which
  361  entitles an insured to a mitigation discount which the inspector
  362  knows does not exist or did not personally inspect;
  363         (c) Contains erroneous information due to the gross
  364  negligence of the inspector; or
  365         (d) Contains a pattern of demonstrably false information
  366  regarding the existence of mitigation features that could give
  367  an insured a false evaluation of the ability of the structure to
  368  withstand major damage from a hurricane endangering the safety
  369  of the insured’s life and property.
  370         (7) An insurer, person, or other entity that obtains
  371  evidence of fraud or evidence that an authorized mitigation
  372  inspector or an employee authorized to conduct mitigation
  373  verification inspections under subsection paragraph (3) has made
  374  false statements in the completion of a mitigation inspection
  375  form shall file a report with the Division of Criminal
  376  Investigations Insurance Fraud, along with all of the evidence
  377  in its possession that supports the allegation of fraud or
  378  falsity. An insurer, person, or other entity making the report
  379  shall be immune from liability, in accordance with s.
  380  626.989(4), for any statements made in the report, during the
  381  investigation, or in connection with the report. The Division of
  382  Criminal Investigations Insurance Fraud shall issue an
  383  investigative report if it finds that probable cause exists to
  384  believe that the authorized mitigation inspector, or an employee
  385  authorized to conduct mitigation verification inspections under
  386  subsection paragraph (3), made intentionally false or fraudulent
  387  statements in the inspection form. Upon conclusion of the
  388  investigation and a finding of probable cause that a violation
  389  has occurred, the Division of Criminal Investigations Insurance
  390  Fraud shall send a copy of the investigative report to the
  391  office and a copy to the agency responsible for the professional
  392  licensure of the authorized mitigation inspector, whether or not
  393  a prosecutor takes action based upon the report.

  395  (14) of section 627.736, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
  396         627.736 Required personal injury protection benefits;
  397  exclusions; priority; claims.—
  398         (4) PAYMENT OF BENEFITS.—Benefits due from an insurer under
  399  ss. 627.730-627.7405 are primary, except that benefits received
  400  under any workers’ compensation law must be credited against the
  401  benefits provided by subsection (1) and are due and payable as
  402  loss accrues upon receipt of reasonable proof of such loss and
  403  the amount of expenses and loss incurred which are covered by
  404  the policy issued under ss. 627.730-627.7405. If the Agency for
  405  Health Care Administration provides, pays, or becomes liable for
  406  medical assistance under the Medicaid program related to injury,
  407  sickness, disease, or death arising out of the ownership,
  408  maintenance, or use of a motor vehicle, the benefits under ss.
  409  627.730-627.7405 are subject to the Medicaid program. However,
  410  within 30 days after receiving notice that the Medicaid program
  411  paid such benefits, the insurer shall repay the full amount of
  412  the benefits to the Medicaid program.
  413         (i) If an insurer has a reasonable belief that a fraudulent
  414  insurance act, for the purposes of s. 626.989 or s. 817.234, has
  415  been committed, the insurer shall notify the claimant, in
  416  writing, within 30 days after submission of the claim that the
  417  claim is being investigated for suspected fraud. Beginning at
  418  the end of the initial 30-day period, the insurer has an
  419  additional 60 days to conduct its fraud investigation.
  420  Notwithstanding subsection (10), no later than 90 days after the
  421  submission of the claim, the insurer must deny the claim or pay
  422  the claim with simple interest as provided in paragraph (d).
  423  Interest shall be assessed from the day the claim was submitted
  424  until the day the claim is paid. All claims denied for suspected
  425  fraudulent insurance acts shall be reported to the Division of
  426  Criminal Investigations Insurance Fraud.
  427         (14) FRAUD ADVISORY NOTICE.—Upon receiving notice of a
  428  claim under this section, an insurer shall provide a notice to
  429  the insured or to a person for whom a claim for reimbursement
  430  for diagnosis or treatment of injuries has been filed, advising
  431  that:
  432         (a) Pursuant to s. 626.9892, the Department of Financial
  433  Services may pay rewards of up to $25,000 to persons providing

  435  committing crimes investigated by the Division of Criminal
  436  Investigations Insurance Fraud arising from violations of s.
  437  440.105, s. 624.15, s. 626.9541, s. 626.989, or s. 817.234.
  438         (b) Solicitation of a person injured in a motor vehicle
  439  crash for purposes of filing personal injury protection or tort
  440  claims could be a violation of s. 817.234, s. 817.505, or the
  441  rules regulating The Florida Bar and should be immediately
  442  reported to the Division of Criminal Investigations Insurance
  443  Fraud if such conduct has taken place.
  444         Section 19. Paragraphs (b) and (c) of subsection (1) of
  445  section 627.7401, Florida Statutes, are amended to read:
  446         627.7401 Notification of insured’s rights.—
  447         (1) The commission, by rule, shall adopt a form for the
  448  notification of insureds of their right to receive personal
  449  injury protection benefits under the Florida Motor Vehicle No
  450  Fault Law. Such notice shall include:
  451         (b) An advisory informing insureds that:
  452         1. Pursuant to s. 626.9892, the Department of Financial
  453  Services may pay rewards of up to $25,000 to persons providing
  454  information leading to the arrest and conviction of persons
  455  committing crimes investigated by the Division of Criminal
  456  Investigations Insurance Fraud arising from violations of s.
  457  440.105, s. 624.15, s. 626.9541, s. 626.989, or s. 817.234.
  458         2. Pursuant to s. 627.736(5)(e)1., if the insured notifies
  459  the insurer of a billing error, the insured may be entitled to a
  460  certain percentage of a reduction in the amount paid by the
  461  insured’s motor vehicle insurer.
  462         (c) A notice that solicitation of a person injured in a
  463  motor vehicle crash for purposes of filing personal injury
  464  protection or tort claims could be a violation of s. 817.234, s
  465  817.505, or the rules regulating The Florida Bar and should be
  466  immediately reported to the Division of Criminal Investigations
  467  Insurance Fraud if such conduct has taken place.
  468         Section 20. Subsection (2) of section 631.156, Florida
  469  Statutes, is amended to read:
  470         631.156 Investigation by the department; scope of
  471  authority; sharing of materials.—
  472         (2) The department may provide documents, books, and
  473  records; other investigative products, work product, and
  474  analysis; and copies of any or all of such materials to the
  475  Division of Criminal Investigations Insurance Fraud or any other
  476  appropriate government agency. The sharing of these materials

  488         932.7055 Disposition of liens and forfeited property.—
  489         (6) If the seizing agency is a state agency, all remaining
  490  proceeds shall be deposited into the General Revenue Fund.
  491  However, if the seizing agency is:
