House Bill No. by Representative Firmant enacts a new provision under R.S. 22:1964(14)(q) that addresses unfair claims settlement practices in the insurance industry. This new legal language mandates that insurance companies must provide the original field adjuster's repair estimate to an insured individual upon written request. Additionally, if the estimate has been revised, the insurer is required to disclose the identity of the person who made those revisions.

This legislation aims to enhance transparency in the claims process by ensuring that insured individuals have access to critical information regarding their repair estimates. By doing so, it seeks to protect consumers from unfair practices and promote fair competition within the insurance business.
