INTRODUCED BY   Senator Gaines

   An act to amend Section 10110 of the Insurance Code, relating to
insurance.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 956, as introduced, Gaines. Insurance policies.
   Existing law defines "insurable interest" as an interest based
upon a reasonable expectation or pecuniary advantage through the
continued life, health, or bodily safety of another person and
consequent loss by reason of that person's death or disability or a
substantial interest engendered by love and affection in the case of
individuals closely related by blood or law. A person has an
insurable interest in, among other things, the life and health of
himself or herself.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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