FPCA Homeowners Division: Draft Public Adjuster and Payment to Insureds Bills
Jan 23, 2009
An opportunity to file a bill specifically relating to public adjusters and/or payment to insureds was presented to the FPCA yesterday. Details of the proposed legislation are still being discussed with the interested Legislators. Proposed bills must be submitted to the House and Senate bill drafting offices by Noon today; however, the FPCA will have many opportunities to add additional provisions to these proposals as the legislative Session progresses.
Two proposals the FPCA has been developing over the last few months are attached for your review.
One proposal would subject public adjusters to similar advertising restrictions as those governing attorneys. The other would allow an insurer to include a contractor or builder as a payee on payments issued to repair property.
Please review these two proposals and submit any suggested changes or corrections to Katie Webb at kwebb@cftlaw.com no later than 11:00 a.m. today.
