The California legislature approved Senate Bill 240 that requires the California Insurance Department to produce information on the most significant state insurance laws related to disasters, and to set training standards for agents handling catastrophic events. Carriers are to provide a single point of contact for insurers making claims. The bill stems from the claim issues that arose from the 2017 wildfires; the goal is to prevent those situations from arising again. Many issues arose from out-of-state adjusters not being familiar with California insurance statutes and regulations. The bill is headed to the Governor for a signature.
