California Insurance Commissioner Takes Bold Steps Amid Crisis

Latest News

California Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara has come under scrutiny but is taking measures to address the state’s ongoing insurance crisis, exacerbated by severe wildfires. Faced with an unprecedented number of canceled policies as insurers withdraw from the market, Lara is proposing systemic changes to how insurance is priced, including expedited processing of rate proposals and allowance for potential losses from catastrophes in premium calculations. Consumer advocacy groups remain critical, fearing that these changes could sideline public participation in decision-making processes regarding insurance rates. Despite the potential for increased coverage costs, Lara is defended for actively responding to the emergency rather than neglecting the issue.
