This bill died with 2009-2010 Regular Session. It reached “To Executive” 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This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis.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 the bringing of an action against an insurer issuing professional liability insurance policies to health care providers for statements made in bad faith unless the statement was made under a specified circumstance. Under existing law, that provision is repealed as of January 1, 2011, unless another statute deletes or extends that date. This bill would extend that date to January 1, 2013.
