Protecting our Residents after Natural Disasters
This week Governor Evers signed legislation I authored, Assembly bill 357. This new law creates protections against out-of-state, "storm-chasing" insurance adjusters who flock to Wisconsin after natural disasters, likes tornadoes and floods. Sadly, some of our residents are preyed upon by unscrupulous, free-lance insurance personnel at a time when a property owner and community are most vulnerable -right after a natural disaster. Inflated repair estimates and questionable contractor referrals are not uncommon in these situations. This new law will help protect our residents by ensuring proper state oversight and registration of insurance claim adjusters operating in Wisconsin. It was my great honor to lead on this bi-partisan legislation this session.
