Summary

The bill requires any agreement that transfers a homeowner’s or commercial‑property insurance payout to a contractor to be in writing, include a clear cancellation right, provide itemized cost estimates, and be sent to the insurer promptly. It also bans hidden fees and forces a bold warning notice to the policyholder. The aim is to protect policyholders from unfair terms when they assign post‑loss benefits.
