Public adjuster prohibited from appearing as an advocate in any action or proceeding.

HF 2608 amends Minnesota law to prohibit public adjusters from acting as advocates or representatives for clients in any legal or administrative hearing, including arbitrations. This directly affects public adjusters (professionals who assist insurance policyholders with claims) by restricting their role in formal proceedings. The bill adds this specific prohibition to Minnesota Statutes section 72B.135, which already lists other restricted practices for public adjusters. The change clarifies that public adjusters cannot represent clients before tribunals or in dispute resolution processes.
