AB 269, as introduced, Waldron. Basic property insurance: California FAIR Plan.
Under existing law, the California FAIR (fair access to insurance requirements) Plan Association is a joint reinsurance association of state insurers that is established to, among other things, assist persons in securing basic property insurance for qualified property for which insurance cannot be obtained through the normal insurance market. Existing law requires the association to establish and maintain a toll-free telephone number through which persons may receive assistance in applying for insurance.
This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
