HRS §431:9-222.5

Getting a limited license for certain insurance adjusters

This section lets the insurance commissioner give a limited license to adjusters who only handle workers' compensation or crop insurance claims. To get it, the adjuster must meet certain requirements like living in Hawaii or a similar state, having relevant experience or training, passing an exam, and paying fees. The license can be renewed every two years if the adjuster passes another exam.

The statute, as written — Claims adjusters; limited license

(a) The commissioner may issue a limited license to an adjuster who only adjusts either workers' compensation or crop insurance claims; provided that the adjuster: (1) Is domiciled in the State of Hawaii, or in a state that permits residents of the State of Hawaii to act as adjusters in that other state; (2) Has had experience, special education, or training in handling loss claims under workers' compensation or crop insurance contracts of sufficiently reasonable duration and extent to enable an individual to fulfill the responsibilities of an adjuster; (3) Has a passing grade on the workers' compensation or crop insurance examination pursuant to section 431:9-206 or has a passing grade on an examination approved by the Risk Management Agency of the United States Department of Agriculture; and (4) Pays the applicable fees.
