Provides that a public adjuster shall not provide services, other than emergency services, until a written contract with the insured has been executed, on a form filed with and approved by the Director, and an exact copy of the contract has been provided to the insurer or its authorized representative for receiving notice of loss or damage (instead of to only the insurer).
