An act to amend Section 1742 of the Insurance Code, relating to insurance.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 1295, as introduced, Rubio. Insurance: licenses.

Existing law authorizes the Insurance Commissioner, after a hearing, to revoke a license held by a person or deny the application for an unrestricted license. Existing law authorizes the commissioner to instead issue a restricted license if the person who is or has been licensed has been found to have violated a provision of the Insurance Code that would justify the suspension or revocation of the license or if the person is applying for a license and there are grounds for the denial of the person’s application.

This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to this provision.
