The bill enacts new provisions in Louisiana law that require insurance adjusters, public adjusters, and insurance appraisers to include their Louisiana license numbers in all electronic communications with insured parties, excluding text messages that are part of their business or employment. Specifically, the new legal language is added to R.S. 22:1674.1(A)(22), R.S. 22:1706(H)(12), and R.S. 22:1807.16(D)(5), establishing this requirement as a standard of conduct for these professionals.
By mandating the inclusion of license numbers in electronic communications, the bill aims to enhance transparency and accountability within the insurance industry. This measure is intended to ensure that insured individuals can easily verify the credentials of the professionals they are dealing with, thereby promoting trust and integrity in the claims process.
