Bill overview
This bill updates the regulations for public insurance adjusters in California to better protect consumers. It requires written contracts between adjusters and insureds to clearly outline services, fees, and prohibited practices. Specifically, it prohibits adjusters from basing fees on prior payments from the insurer or on insurer payments for specific claims, and it expands the right for policyholders to cancel contracts under certain circumstances, particularly during declared disasters. The bill also clarifies solicitation rules and contract disclosures.
