   AB 2606, as introduced, Hagman. Insurance: fire: standard form

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

  SECTION 1.  Section 2070 of the Insurance Code is amended to read:
   2070.  All fire policies on subject matter in California shall be
on the standard form, and, except as provided by this article shall
not contain additions  thereto   to the form
 . No part of the standard form shall be omitted 
therefrom except that any policy providing coverage against
the peril of fire only, or in combination with coverage against other
perils, need not comply with the provisions of the standard form of
fire insurance policy or Section 2080; provided, that coverage with
respect to the peril of fire, when viewed in its entirety, is
substantially equivalent to or more favorable to the insured than
that contained in  such   the  standard
form fire insurance policy.
