Plain English Summary
AI-GENERATEDInsurance companies and their authorized agents must now put in place identity-verification and security control processes for electronic signatures, subject to approval by the department.
This replaces a narrower rule that only governed odometer disclosures submitted through insurance companies, which had to meet a named federal technical standard for identity, authentication, and federation assurance.
The new control-process duty is not limited to odometer disclosures. As written, it applies whenever insurance companies or their agents handle any electronic signature required under this subsection.
Florida law elsewhere still lets any signature consistent with chapter 668's electronic-signature standards satisfy this subsection's requirements, so the baseline for most signers is unchanged.
AIElectronic signatures on odometer disclosures submitted through an insurance company no longer have to meet the named federal identity-assurance standard for a certificate of destruction or salvage title; a signature that merely satisfies chapter 668 is now enough.
AIInsurance companies and their authorized agents must maintain control processes and procedures the department accepts, covering identity verification, security, confidentiality, and auditability, for electronic signatures they handle under this subsection generally -- not only odometer disclosures.
