Committee Substitute for HB 903 Goes to the House Floor

By David A. McCranie, Esq.

The Committee Substitute for HB 903 - CS/HB 903 - is out.  The revised bill: (1) deletes the detailed legislative findings of fact contained in the original bill;  and (2) requires that claimant's attorney's fees be "equal to" the various percentages of benefits secured set out in the statute instead of, as in the original bill, allowing the fees to be "less than or equal to" those percentages.

The Miami Herald reports that the bill is now headed for a vote on the floor of the House as early as next week.
