Since when do insurance companies care about the law?

Last year, the legislature passed a law that said they couldn't drop somebody with a 15-year-old roof that's been inspected and has 5 years or roof life left. That was the same year that "American Integrity" added a rider that excluded my 15-year-old, recently inspected roof, except in the case of a named storm, and then hiked my rate 20%.

Nobody did anything when I complained to what passes for an insurance commission in Florida, so this year they extended the rider to completely exclude my roof under all circumstances, and hiked my rate 80%.
