Summary

Existing law generally regulates insurance transactions with persons 65 years of age and older. Under existing law, the Insurance Commissioner has the administrative authority to bring actions against insurers who violate those provisions and the Attorney General, district attorney, and city attorney have the authority to bring actions for injunctive relief, damages, and penalties, as specified, against insurers who violate those provisions. This bill would state that any person who is harmed as a result of a violation of those provisions may bring a civil action for compensatory damages and any other remedies otherwise provided by law.
