           SUMMARY  

          This bill requires the California Earthquake Authority (CEA) to  
          make specified documents available to the public in an  
          electronic format upon request. Specifically, this bill requires  
          information about CEA determinations about opening the CEA to  
          insurers who have previously not participated available in an  
          electronic format

           FISCAL EFFECT  

          No direct fiscal impact. The CEA is a privately financed  
          publicly managed agency. 

           COMMENTS  

          This bill is sponsored by the Personal Insurance Federation of  
          California to increase the availability of information about CEA  
          decisions released to the public. Because CEA is not a public  
          agency, it is not subject to all the same public records act  
          requirements as other state agencies.
