Purpose


The purpose of the proposed rule development is to eliminate the licensing of emergency public adjusters, to make the licensing process for emergency company and independent adjusters faster and more economical by utilization of the Department’s website and to change Office of Insurance Regulation to Department of Financial Services to reflect legislation that changed jurisdiction over adjusters. The purpose of a new rule that applies to public adjusters after the Governor issues an executive order that a state of emergency exists is to protect consumers who hire public adjusters after disasters. The purpose of other changes is to clarify the rules.
