Senate BillNo. 60


Introduced by Senator Knight

December 19, 2014


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

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

SB 60, as introduced, Knight. Insurance policies.

Existing law defines “insurable interest” with respect to life and disability insurance as an interest based upon a reasonable expectation of 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. Existing law provides that 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.
