Summary

Existing law authorizes an insurer to provide notices of insurance transactions by electronic transmission, if the insurer complies with specified requirements, including that the insurer acquires the consent of the person to opt in to receive the notice by electronic transmission. Existing law, until January 1, 2021, requires a licensee who is required to transmit a record by a method of delivery evidencing actual receipt by the person, and who transmits that record electronically, to maintain a process or system that demonstrates proof of delivery and actual receipt of the record. Under existing law, until January 1, 2021, a licensee who transmits a notice of lapse, nonrenewal, cancellation, or termination of an insurance product electronically is also required to demonstrate that proof of delivery. This bill would delete the January 1, 2021, repeal date, making those proof of delivery and actual receipt requirements apply indefinitely.
