The bill introduced by Representative Bryant enacts a new provision under R.S. 3:3810(A)(9) that mandates arborists to obtain a license in order to secure liability insurance. This requirement aims to ensure that only licensed professionals can obtain the necessary insurance to perform arborist work, thereby enhancing accountability and safety standards within the industry.

Additionally, the bill outlines that failing to comply with this licensing requirement when obtaining insurance will be considered a violation of the law. This provision is part of a broader effort to regulate the arborist profession and ensure that practitioners meet specific qualifications before engaging in work that requires liability coverage.
