NOTICE OF AMENDMENT TO TEXT OF REGULATION
RH05044654
October 25, 2006
On September 8, 2006, California Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi issued a Notice of Proposed Action and Notice of Public Hearing, proposing the adoption of proposed amendments to regulations interpreting and making specific provisions of Insurance Code Section 758(c). The Department held public hearings and received oral and written public comments in response to the Notice.
PUBLIC COMMENT INVITED:
The Commissioner has proposed changes to Sections 2698.91 and the addition of section 2698.92 in response to public comments, and now solicits written comments on those changes only, which are attached. Comments submitted on unchanged portions of the regulations will not be considered.
The Commissioner believes the changes made are either nonsubstantial or solely grammatical in nature, or are sufficiently related to the original text that the public was adequately placed on notice that the change could result from the originally proposed regulatory action. Accordingly, pursuant to the provisions of California Government Code Section 11346.8(c), the Commissioner is soliciting written public comment on the changes. A copy of the changes, with the proposed changes clearly indicated, is available for public comment for at least 15 days. Proposed additions to the original regulations submitted to the Office of Administrative Law (OAL) are reflected in double underlined text. Proposed deletions to the original regulations submitted to the OAL are reflected in double strikeout.
