A bill supported by roofing contractors, adjusters and consumer lawyers in Georgia would require insurers to provide full replacements of certain roofs, even if only a few shingles are damaged.
Supporters of the bill gathered at Georgia’s capitol in early March to convince Rep. Eddie Lumsden, chair of the Insurance Committee, to hold a hearing on HB 1310. The bill would be similar to laws already in place in states like Florida that call for the full replacement of most roofs.
