An Act regarding public insurance adjusters
This bill amends Massachusetts law to define who qualifies as a "public insurance adjuster." It specifies that anyone paid to help insured individuals negotiate, assess, or settle property insurance claims - including for fire, homeowners, commercial multi-peril, or business interruption policies - must be a licensed public adjuster, not an attorney acting in their usual practice. The change directly affects insurance professionals who handle property damage claims for clients, clarifying their role under existing law. It does not create new requirements but updates the legal definition of the profession.
