Massachusetts H1231 allows insurers to temporarily license appraisers during emergencies to expedite claims resolution.
Massachusetts H1231 amends the state's General Laws to allow insurers to appoint temporary qualified appraisers during declared emergencies. This measure aims to facilitate the prompt resolution of claims arising from motor vehicle damage covered by auto insurance policies. The bill defines a qualified appraiser as someone already licensed in another state or regularly appraising vehicles in a state without licensing requirements. The temporary licensing status ends when the emergency declaration is lifted.
