Summary

Existing law, until January 1, 2010, imposes on an insurer a $0.30 special purpose assessment on each vehicle insured under an insurance policy issued in this state by the insurer. Existing law specifies that $0.20 of each $0.30 special purpose assessment shall be used to fund specified consumer service functions of the Department of Insurance relating to motor vehicle insurance. Existing law further specifies that the remaining $0.10 of each $0.30 assessment shall be used to fund the improvement of certain consumer functions of the department. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these provisions and would extend the operation of the provisions until January 1, 2015.
