Summary
This emergency rule adopts emergency ethical standards to be applied to claims resulting from this hazardous weather system (with possible tornadic activity) in the counties wherein Governor Crist declared a State of Emergency via Executive Order 07-21 (Lake, Seminole, Sumter, and Volusia). The rule establishes a 14-day rescission period for public adjuster contracts. Additionally, the rule prohibits public adjusters from collecting a fee based upon policy limits where the subject property has been declared a total loss by the insurer, unless that public adjuster was involved in negotiating a dispute as to whether that property was a total loss.
