Summary

Existing law requires a special purpose assessment of $0.25, commencing July 1, 2014, until January 1, 2016, and not exceeding $0.25 thereafter, on each vehicle insured under an insurance policy issued in this state by the insurer. Existing law specifies that, upon appropriation by the Legislature, 23 of the special purpose assessment be used for the purpose of funding the consumer service functions of the Department of Insurance related to regulating automobile insurers, as provided, and 13 of the special purpose assessment be used for the purpose of improving consumer functions of the department, related to regulating automobile insurers, as specified. Existing law also authorizes, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to use up to $0.05 of the $0.25 special purpose assessment revenues collected to notify insurers and other members of the public about the existence of any low-cost automobile insurance program. This bill would raise the amount of the special purpose assessment to $0.26, until January 1, 2016, and not exceeding $0.26 thereafter. Existing law created the Seismic Safety Account as a special account within the Insurance Fund with the funds to be distributed, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to the Alfred E. Alquist Seismic Safety Commission for the support of the commission and to the department for the actual administrative costs incurred in collecting the assessments. In order to fund the account, an assessment, as specified, is imposed on each person who owns real property, commercial or residential, that is covered by a property insurance policy. This bill would provide that the insurer is not required to refund any portion of an assessment because the policy or coverage is terminated prior to the expiration date of the policy or coverage.
