After Discussions, Pennsylvania House Bill Does Not Criminalize Adjuster Neglect and Incompetence.

AAPIA’s lobbying efforts in the Pennsylvania Legislature have been successful. As I mentioned a week ago in AAPIA Defends Rights of Public Insurance Adjusters in Pennsylvania Legislature, AAPIA was lobbying against a proposed amendment that would make certain instances of neglect or incompetence a third degree felony. A new version of the amendment to Pennsylvania HB 1736 criminalizes only willful conduct and involves only certain serious violations of the statute.

Well, I think that's the way it should be.

Nobody should be criminally punished for mistakes and accidents. If that were the case and society held all professionals liable for "mistakes," we'd be in trouble.

Now, when we consider "willful" wrongful actions, that is obviousy a different story which deserves criminal consideration.
