Summary
The California FAIR Plan Association is a joint reinsurance association in which all insurers licensed to write basic property insurance participate to administer 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 implement programs to help reduce the number of existing FAIR Plan policies, including clearinghouse programs in which a participating insurer offers homeowners or commercial insurance to FAIR Plan policyholders. Existing law requires an agent or broker transacting basic property insurance to assist a person in obtaining basic property insurance coverage by one of several specified methods, including making an application for insurance through the FAIR Plan. On and after January 1, 2028, this bill would authorize the association to share policyholder information with insurers participating in the clearinghouse program, as specified, to allow a participating insurer to offer a policy to a FAIR Plan policyholder and, if there is an agent or broker of record listed on the policy, would require the insurer to make the offer simultaneously to the agent or broker of record and the FAIR Plan policyholder. Commencing May 1, 2027, the bill would require a participating insurer to report to the association on a quarterly basis the number of policies it has issued to FAIR Plan policyholders. The bill would require the association to report aggregated numbers within 30 days, as specified, and post and quarterly update on its internet website a list of participating insurers in the clearinghouse programs. The bill would require the association to provide all policyholders with a notice regarding their coverage options at least annually, including with the initial policy issuance and upon each renewal. The bill would require an agent or broker transacting basic property insurance to assist a person in obtaining basic property insurance coverage by providing the person with information on the clearinghouse programs, among other specified assistance. The bill would require the association to require registered agents and brokers to complete the association's department-approved training on the association's and the broker's responsibility to advise policyholders on the voluntary market options. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 10095 of the Insurance Code proposed by AB 1680 to be operative only if this bill and AB 1680 are enacted and this bill is enacted last. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 10095.5 of the Insurance Code proposed by AB 2061 to be operative only if this bill and AB 2061 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
