Florida's new insurance commissioner loses interim tag

Michael Yaworsky is officially Florida’s new insurance commissioner.

The state’s Financial Service’s Commission approved him to lead the state's Office of Insurance Regulation on Monday. The vote count was not released, and the commission did not respond to a question asking for the results.

Yaworsky had held the position on an interim basis since last month when Gov. Ron DeSantis appointed him to the job awaiting the commission’s final approval.
