Official Summary Text

AB 234, Calderon.
California FAIR Plan Association governing committee.
The California FAIR Plan Association is a joint reinsurance association in which all insurers licensed to write basic property insurance participate to administer a program for the equitable apportionment of basic property insurance for persons who are unable to obtain that coverage through normal channels. Existing law establishes a governing committee for the association and prescribes its membership.
This bill would require the Speaker of the Assembly and the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Rules to serve as nonvoting, ex officio members of the governing committee, and would authorize each to name a designee to serve in their place.
This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
