SB 370 California Senate · 2023-2024 Regular Session

California FAIR Plan Association.

Summary

The California FAIR Plan Association is a joint reinsurance association in which all insurers licensed to write basic property insurance participate in administering a program for the equitable apportionment of basic property insurance for persons who are unable to obtain that coverage through normal channels. Existing law requires the association to establish and maintain an internet website and a statewide toll-free telephone number through which a person may receive assistance in applying for basic property insurance. Existing law requires an agent or broker transacting basic property insurance to assist a person seeking the agent's or broker's help in obtaining basic property insurance coverage by, among other things, providing the person with the association's internet website and toll-free telephone number. This bill would require an agent or broker to also provide a person seeking their help in obtaining basic property insurance coverage with information regarding the department's Home Insurance Finder in addition to the association's internet website and toll-free telephone number.
