HRS §431:9-227

Insurance adjusters who sell insurance have limits

This section says that an insurance adjuster who also sells insurance cannot adjust a loss if their pay from selling insurance depends mainly on adjusting that loss. There is an exception for people who were already working this way on December 31, 1955. This is a narrow rule about a specific conflict of interest.

The statute, as written — Adjuster; restrictions

An adjuster who is a producer is not permitted to adjust or cause the adjustment of any loss where the adjuster's remuneration for the sale of insurance is primarily dependent upon the adjustment of the loss. This section shall not be applicable to any producer whose remuneration for the sale of insurance, on December 31, 1955, was primarily dependent upon the adjustment of losses, or to any producer or an insurer who, on December 31, 1955, was transacting insurance business where the producer's remuneration for the sale of such insurance was primarily dependent upon the adjustment of losses.
