 Louisiana Radio Network, I'm Jeff Palermo. Several new laws go into effect today, including one the Louisiana Department of Insurance says establishes a simple, clear timeline for when a claim should be paid. River Ridge Senator Kirk Talbot says the measure also gives insurance companies an additional 30 days to pay a claim following a natural disaster. When there's a major catastrophe, insurance companies, they physically cannot get enough adjusters and properly write up your report. You're going to get some jack legs.
