Okla. Stat. tit. 36, § 36-6216: Powers of adjuster; Current license required for claim

referral.

A. An adjuster shall have authority in accordance with his

license only to investigate or report to his principal upon claims

on behalf of insurers if the adjuster is licensed as an insurance

adjuster, or on behalf of insured if licensed as a public adjuster.

This limitation of powers shall not prohibit the insurer or insured

from granting additional powers to the adjuster.

B. An insurer shall not knowingly refer any claim of loss for

adjustment in this state to any person purporting to be or acting as

an adjuster unless such a person is currently licensed as an

adjuster as required by the provisions of the Insurance Adjusters

Licensing Act.

C. Prior to referring any claim of loss to an adjuster, the

insurer shall ascertain whether or not the adjuster is currently

licensed pursuant to the provisions of the Insurance Adjusters

Licensing Act. Having once ascertained that an adjuster is

licensed, the insurer may assume that the adjuster shall continue to

be licensed until the insurer has knowledge or has received

information to the contrary.
