Summary

Existing law prohibits an insurer who charges an additional earthquake insurance premium or deductible because a dwelling fails to meet certain building requirements relating to earthquake bracing from charging the additional premium or deductible if the dwelling is brought into compliance with those requirements, as specified. Existing law requires a copy of the approved inspection record for the building permit for work performed to bring the dwelling into compliance to be submitted by the insured to the insurer in order to verify that the retrofits have been performed. This bill would require the additional premium or deductible paid to be refunded to the insured and prorated as of the date the approved inspection record is received by the insurer. The bill would also make technical, nonsubstantive changes by deleting obsolete portions of those provisions.
