A Florida judge has enjoined enforcement of a section of a new law that would have prohibited "written or electronic communication that encourages, induces, or instructs someone to contact a contractor or public adjuster for the purpose of filing an insurance claim for roof damage." The judge found that this section of the law violates the First Amendment free speech rights of contractors, even though the Department of Business and Professional Regulation argued that the restriction was intended to combat consumer exploitation and fraud.
