SB 5779: Insurance service provider

Restricting service providers who pass on costs to casualty or property insurers.

Summary

The current statutory language prohibiting a service provider from waiving, paying, or rebating deductibles is made subject to certain qualifications. Such practices are prohibited when 1) the costs are passed on to an insurer and 2) the claimant notifies the service provider of his or her intention of making a claim for the property repair upon his or her insurance policy.
