This Member’s Bill would facilitate the swift resolution of uninhabitable property claims lodged with insurance companies.
This bill would provide:
- a legal framework and parameters for when insurance companies must act by;
- an opportunity for the time frame to be extended in extreme circumstances at the Minister’s discretion;
- a faster response and resolution for claimants;
- less stress and emotional burden for claimants affected by drawn out insurance claims; and
- clarity surrounding the claim process in regards to targets and deadlines.
The Chair of the Committee would like to hear your thoughts on this bill.
