Hawaii Revised Statutes 431:9-226 Powers Conferred by an Adjuster's License.

Case Notes

Where management company for foreign insurer authorized to do business in Hawaii did not hold a general agent, subagent, or solicitor license under this article (1993), it could not have been legally appointed as either a general agent, subagent, or solicitor of insurer; thus it did not qualify as a "general agent", "subagent", or "solicitor" as defined by this chapter (1993), did not fall within the parameters of the category described by §237-13(7) and was thus subject to a general excise tax rate of four per cent pursuant to §237-13(6). 115 H. 180, 166 P.3d 353 (2007).

§431:9-226 Powers conferred by an adjuster's license. (a) An adjuster has authority under the adjuster's license only to investigate for, report to, or adjust for the adjuster's principal only on behalf of the insurers if licensed as an independent adjuster, or only on behalf of insureds if licensed as a public adjuster.

(b) An adjuster licensed concurrently as both an independent and a public adjuster is not permitted to represent both the insurer and the insured in the same transaction. [L 1987, c 347, pt of §2]
