Bill Summary
Relative to appointing temporary qualified appraisers for damage covered by auto insurance policies. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill allows insurers to temporarily appoint qualified appraisers, even those not licensed in Massachusetts, to facilitate the prompt resolution of insurance claims during a declared emergency or severe weather event. The bill specifies that appraisers already licensed in another state or appraisers who regularly appraise motor vehicles in a state where a license is not required are considered qualified. These temporary appraisers will be considered licensed for the purposes of the relevant law, and this temporary status will end when the Commissioner of Insurance determines that temporary appraisers are no longer needed.
