A bill for an act relating to investigations of insurance fraud related to adjusters, appraisers, and umpires.

This bill (HF 2273) updates Iowa law to clarify that insurance fraud investigations involving adjusters, appraisers, and umpires fall under the commissioner of insurance's authority. It expands the scope of existing investigation powers by adding Chapter 522C (adjuster licensing) and Chapter 522F (appraiser/umpire licensing) to the list of chapters authorizing such investigations. This change directly affects insurance fraud investigators and professionals in these specific roles, ensuring their activities are covered under the commissioner's jurisdiction during fraud probes. The bill does not create new penalties or requirements but clarifies investigative authority for these professions.
