This proposed bill may completely give all of the power back to the insurance company! Every restoration company has an interested in seeking this bill defeated.   What if the funds from the restoration jobs went directly to the homeowners? Will you get paid?

Basic Information:

1) A bill was just filed in the Florida House of Representatives which would prohibit assignments of payments under homeowner's policies. This would be a major blow to the industry and completely give all of the power back to the insurance companies. Please reference Florida House Bill HB 909 (2013).   2) Any homeowner's insurance policy may prohibit the assignment of rights or benefits under the policy, and a third party beneficiary any not accept an assignment or recover against any policy that prohibits assignment. Any Assignment of rights or benefits under a homeowner's insurance policy that prohibits assignment renders the coverage void.   
 
We need to mobilize political support against this bill immediately. Every restoration company has an interest in seeing that this bill is defeated.  We are working with attorney Harvey Cohen, Cohen Battista Law Firm and Society of Cleaning and Restoration Technicians (SCRT).  SCRT through ICRA is working to bring this meeting together for the Florida Restoration Industry.  All restorers in the USA should be watching and be concerned about this bill.  This could eventually have an effect on your company.
