WHAT: The Developmental Disabilities Compact Workgroup
will meet to discuss draft proposals created by
workgroup members for benefits insurers might
offer to persons with developmental disabilities.
Chairperson and Deputy Insurance
Commissioner Mary Beth Senkewicz canceled
the Nov. 20 meeting, because no draft
coverage proposals were submitted by
workgroup members.
At the Oct. 14 workgroup meeting, Deputy
Commissioner Senkewicz asked members to
draft the proposals that were to have served as
the foundation for a comprehensive discussion
of possible benefit offerings at the Nov. 20
meeting.
WHEN: Wednesday, Dec. 17,
9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
WHERE: The Capitol
Cabinet Meeting Room
Tallahassee, FL

legislative committee meetings)
The Developmental Disabilities Compact was
established by Senate Bill 2654 and became law
in May. Called the "Window of Opportunity Act,"
Section 624.916, F.S. charged the Office of
Insurance Regulation (Office) with developing
and executing a compact relating to insurance
coverage and access to services for persons
with developmental disabilities.
Deputy Commissioner Senkewicz is the
chairperson of this effort on behalf of
Commissioner Kevin McCarty.
