✦ Plain-Language Summary
This resolution calls on New York State to pass a law shielding homeowners, renters, and building occupants from dishonest or exploitative insurance adjusters who may take advantage of people right after a disaster or damaging event. These adjusters can pressure vulnerable residents into unfair settlements when they are most stressed and in need. Passing this law would add important consumer protections for New Yorkers dealing with property damage from storms, fires, or other emergencies.
