Michael Yaworsky is taking over as commissioner of Florida’s Office of Insurance Regulation, the agency overseeing the state’s troubled property insurance market.

Gov. Ron DeSantis nominated him to the post Friday on interim basis. He will keep the interim designation until confirmed by the Financial Services Commission, according to a statement from the governor’s office.

Yaworsky has been the vice chair of the Florida Gaming Control Commission since December 2021 and before that was the chief of staff at OIR. He is replacing David Altmaier, who left in December after more than six years.
