INSURANCE: Provides relative to public adjusters

HB 600 regulates public adjusters in Louisiana by defining their role and restricting how they can charge fees. It clarifies that public adjusting involves helping insureds with property claims (excluding motor vehicle claims or legal work) and prohibits adjusters from charging fees based on a percentage of the settlement amount. The bill sets a 10% cap on fees for catastrophic claims (like major storm damage) and a 15% cap for other claims, making contingent fee agreements void. This directly affects public adjusters and Louisiana homeowners/property owners dealing with insurance claims.
