Assembly Bill 470, authored by Roger Niello (R-Fair Oaks), passed the Assembly Insurance Committee on the consent calendar and will now go to the Assembly Floor.
The bill, which CJAC is sponsoring, eliminates delays in the timely processing and settlement of claims caused by existing law, which prevents an insurance company from disclosing a police report to anyone, even to a lawyer for an insured.
This simple bill would allow a work-around to expedite processing and settlement of claims.
