AI Summary

This bill aims to provide for the temporary emergency licensing of appraisers of motor vehicle damage covered by auto insurance policies. Upon a declaration of emergency by the governor or a declaration of a claims emergency by the insurance commissioner, insurers can appoint temporary qualified appraisers, including those licensed in other states or those who regularly appraise motor vehicles in states where an appraiser license is not required, to facilitate the prompt resolution of claims arising from the emergency. This temporary appraiser status will terminate when the insurance commissioner determines that temporary appraisers are no longer needed.
