MINOR

This bill amendment shortens the time period during which public adjusters are prohibited from contacting property owners after a damaging event from 72 hours to 48 hours. The change affects when the communication restrictions begin and when affected parties can initiate contact with public adjusters. This reduces the waiting period before property owners can seek professional help for their insurance claims.

Scope change

The bill's scope remains the same - it still prohibits public adjusters from contacting property owners after damage events - but the time threshold for this prohibition was reduced from 72 hours to 48 hours.

TIMELINE

Reduced the prohibition period from 72 hours to 48 hours after a damaging event before public adjusters can contact property owners

REQUIREMENT

Added a provision clarifying that property owners, occupants, or tenants may initiate contact with public adjusters during the 48-hour period

Updated all references to the time period throughout the bill to reflect the new 48-hour restriction instead of 72 hours
