AI Summary
This bill, concerning insurance and public adjusters in Kansas, prohibits individuals licensed as public adjusters from negotiating or finalizing settlements for any insurance claims related to residential and personal property damage, effectively limiting their involvement to commercial insurance claims. The bill amends existing Kansas statutes, including the Public Adjusters Licensing Act, to reflect this new restriction and clarifies the definition of a public adjuster to explicitly exclude them from handling residential claims. This change aims to redefine the scope of services public adjusters can offer to homeowners and individuals with personal property insurance.
