House Bill 1183 amends the Insurance Code to prohibit a licensed insurance adjuster from adjusting a loss related to roofing damage on an insurer's behalf if the adjuster is a roofing contractor or otherwise provides roofing services or roofing products for compensation or is a controlling person in a roofing-related business. The bill prohibits a roofing contractor from acting as an adjuster or public adjuster or advertising to adjust claims for any property for which the contractor is providing or may provide roofing services, regardless of whether the contractor is a licensed insurance adjuster or licensed public insurance adjuster. The bill requires the commissioner of insurance to adopt rules necessary to implement and enforce the bill's provisions.
