     72B.06 Catastrophe or emergency situations. 

    Any person acting as an independent adjuster in this state 
 in a catastrophe or emergency situation who is not a licensed 
 adjuster, must register with the commissioner within 72 hours of 
 commencing any adjusting assignments.  The registration shall be 
 made on such form as the commissioner shall prescribe and shall 
 include the name of the registrant, permanent home address and 
 address for the period during which the registration is 
 effective, the categories of losses being adjusted by the 
 registrant, the name of the licensed independent adjuster or 
 staff adjuster who will be supervising that adjuster, and the 
 name of the insurer or insurers in whose behalf the adjusting is 
 being done.  No person shall register or be allowed to adjust 
 losses under this provision unless that person is under the 
 supervision of a staff adjuster or a licensed independent 
 adjuster.  The supervising adjuster shall indicate on the 
 registration filing the period of time for which the 
 registration is being made, and no unlicensed person shall 
 undertake to adjust losses after the termination of the 
 registration. 

    Each registrant under this section shall promptly give 
 written notice to the commissioner of any change in address 
 while in this state, or any other information stated in the 
 registration statement. 

    The commissioner may summarily suspend or revoke the right 
 of any person adjusting in this state under the authority of 
 this section to continue to adjust in this state, if the 
 commissioner finds that that person has engaged in any of the 
 practices forbidden to a licensed adjuster under sections 72B.01 
 to 72B.14.  Notice of such suspension or revocation may be given 
 personally or by mail sent to the temporary address stated in 
 the registration.  A duplicate copy of such notice shall be 
 given to the supervising adjuster.
