This bill died with 2009-2010 Regular Session. It reached “Passed Assembly” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law prohibits any person from engaging in any trade practice determined to be an unfair method of competition or an unfair or deceptive act or trade practice in the business of insurance. This bill would provide that it is an unfair and deceptive act or practice in the business of insurance if an insurer uses a retained-asset account, as defined, and does not take certain actions. The bill would specify the penalty for this unfair and deceptive act or practice.
