insurance.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2688, De La Torre. Assigned risk plan: motor vehicle operator
reports.
   Existing law provides for an assigned risk plan for applicants for
automobile bodily injury and property damage liability insurance who
are in good faith entitled to but are unable to obtain that
insurance through ordinary methods. Existing law requires the insurer
to obtain from the Department of Motor Vehicles a report, for the
purpose of determining premium adjustments, on the applicant and any
other person who may reasonably be expected to operate the applicant'
s motor vehicle with the permission of the applicant, as specified.
   This bill would allow the insurer to obtain the required report
from a subscribing loss underwriting exchange carrier, or from the
Department of Motor Vehicles.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 11624.7 of the Insurance Code is amended to
read:
   11624.7.  Within 60 days after the effective date of any policy
issued or renewed under this article, the insurer shall obtain from
the Department of Motor Vehicles, or from a subscribing loss
underwriting exchange carrier, a report on the applicant and any
other person who may reasonably be expected to operate the applicant'
s motor vehicle with the permission of the applicant. Any premium
adjustments that occur as a result of the inspection of the reports
shall be billed within the same 60-day period. This section does not
apply to amendments of a policy other than upon original issuance or
renewal.
