The sponsor's argument

Why Jamaal Bailey says this is needed

In the aftermath of fires, floods, storms, and other damaging events, property owners and tenants are often vulnerable, disoriented, and under significant emotional and financial stress. During this sensitive peri- od, individuals may be approached by public adjusters offering assist- ance with insurance claims and recovery. This bill is intended to provide a short, reasonable cooling-off period following a damaging event, allowing affected individuals time to stabilize their circum- stances and make informed decisions.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
