• New supervisors
• New Chair and Vice Chair
• Regarding the insurance commissioners new regulation… what a joke.
• New Regulation: California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara introduced a directive requiring insurance companies to offer more coverage in wildfire-prone areas. Insurers must write policies covering at least 85% of their statewide market share in high-risk areas, increasing coverage by 5% every two years. This aims to stabilize the market and protect consumers in vulnerable areas.
• PROBLEM:
  • Rate of Increase: 5% every 2 years.
  • Target: 85%.
• ——It will take 34 years for insurers to reach 85% coverage at the current rate of increase! Most of us reading this will be dead by then.—-
• Cost Implications: To offset losses, insurers will now be allowed to pass some reinsurance costs to consumers. Reinsurance helps insurers manage risks from catastrophic events. However, this change is expected to drive up insurance premiums for homeowners.
• Consumer Protection Measures:
• A cap on reinsurance costs that insurers can charge to policyholders.
• Reinsurance costs will be limited to California-specific risks, excluding costs from disasters in other regions.
• Regulations prevent “model shopping,” ensuring consistent risk assessment for consumers.
• —PROBLEM:
  • All this done without any public input, and prioritizes insurance companies.——
  • Thank God the Insurance commissioners last term but unfortunately we still have until January 2027 to watch him do virtually nothing for Fire insurance needs.
• ———-These are where is priorities are and notice 2024 (after almost a decade of screaming at him about our fire insurance needs). Pathetic——-
