GOOD DAY TAMPA AT 9 AM from 09:14 to 09:19 in US/Eastern

Fox 13 (Tampa Bay, FL)

On average. It's not a lot considering that insurance premiums are expected for many to continue to climb by double digits. But hey, better than nothing. The average annual cost of homeowners insurance in Florida is $6,000, which is the highest in the country. Now. On Friday, governor DeSantis also vetoed a bill that would have restricted social media use for children under the age of 16. But it a plan to limit social media access for children and young teens is not off the table just yet. Lawmakers are now rushing to approve a new version of the bill that would allow kids 14 and 15 to have access to social media accounts with their parents consent. Anyone under 14 would continue to be banned. And finally, the Florida Senate today is expected to pass a $20 billion compensation plan for victims subjected to mental, physical and sexual abuse at the now shuttered Dozier School for boys and another state reform school in Okeechobee. The Dozier School was shut down in 2011 after 111 years of operation. The remains of dozens of students buried at the site have since been uncovered, and victims have petitioned lawmakers for years to acknowledge and compensate them for what happened in those state run schools. The compensation plan passed the House unanimously last week. All right, Kelly, thank you. 96 and new this morning. Road safety officials are urging people to get some extra rest ahead of daylight saving time. They say new research shows deaths due to drowsy driving are ten times higher than initially thought, according to Triple A, 18% of all traffic fatalities between 2017 and 2021 involved a drowsy driver. Those crashes took the lives of 30,000 people in 2021 alone. More than 6700 people died, and it doesn't take much to be considered a drowsy driver. Just one hour less than the expert recommended of seven hour increases. A driver's risk of crashing, and those deprived of sleep by four or more hours are impaired. Just as much as drunk driver driving while sleeping reduces alertness, impairs judgment and increases your chances of hazardous micro-sleeps. That's when you have that momentary lapse in consciousness. If you ever feel tired while driving, pull over somewhere safe and try to take a nap. Triple A says just 20 to 30 minutes can significantly improve your alertness. This is all especially important with daylight saving time coming on Sunday. The darker mornings and lost hour of sleep has a big impact on our bodies. Officers in Temple Terrace got a pretty interesting call last night. They were informed that a bull was on the loose and started wandering around a neighborhood. Police say they got a call from a concerned resident who said a bull was wandering around the Rolling Terrace neighborhood ju off Temple Terrace. Highway r edan td o kethpte tscheenire ea llye ll made his way toward its? Well it is USF territory. Go Bulls love that. Still ahead this morning 1 billion shipments. Thahe death of cheap. More on that after the break. But fi a too young to cancer. And that's why doctors are pushing more people to get screened for colon cancer. We're going to talk to a doctor for Motivation Monday next, and Charlie Belcher one more time. Hey, Charlie, good day to you, Laura. If you always wondered I wanted to see if I could say it. That was pretty good. Uh, and there is a big hullabaloo around Hunahpu. Let me tell you, that is true. Especially for beer enthusiasts. Not just here in Tampa Bay, but beyond. See hunahpu is an annual brewing of an Imperial Stout ale that they do here at Cigar City to celebrate their anniversary, which is now 15 years ago. Yes I'm a proud Florida man, and that is one of their famous beers. They are the ambassadors for Tampa Bay beer being served. Now all around this country and throughout the world. I'm going to give you a little history of cigar City Brewing, and we'll get you ready for Hunahpu 2024, when good Day Tampa. I was paying hundreds of dollars every year for my diabetic
