Assembly BillNo. 2224

An act to amend Section 667.5 of the Insurance Code, relating to insurance.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 2224, as introduced, Nazarian. Insurance: cancellation: failure to renew.

Existing law requires, with exceptions, that the cancellation of an insurance policy or any change in the policy, executed by the insurer at the request of the named insured designated on the declarations page of the policy, is binding on any other insured or named insured. The insurer is required to mail or deliver the notice of cancellation or an endorsement evidencing the named insured’s request to all individuals or entities designated as named insureds on the declarations page of the policy.

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:
