In this episode of the Level Up Claims Podcast, host Galen Hair is joined by veteran public adjuster Jack Hanks to discuss a controversial piece of legislation that could dramatically reshape the public adjusting industry.

Kentucky Kentucky House Bill 568 proposes sweeping changes, including a freeze on new public adjuster licenses, a strict 5% fee cap, and limitations on what adjusters are legally allowed to do during the claims process.

Galen and Jack break down what the bill does, why it could make it nearly impossible for public adjusters to operate profitably, and how similar legislation could spread to other states.

Highlights:

• What Kentucky House Bill 568 actually proposes

• Why a 5% fee cap could eliminate most public adjusting work

• How freezing licenses would prevent new adjusters from entering the profession

• The impact these changes could have on homeowners and policyholders

• Why small insurance claims would become nearly impossible to represent

• How legislation like this often spreads from one state to another

• The growing tension between insurers and claims advocates

• Why industry professionals must monitor legislation in their own states

• The importance of industry unity and raising professional standards

• What it means to truly "level up" and protect the future of the profession
