Operative words

This Bulletin 2021-03... directs insurance companies to take the following actions: Do more to return additional premium relief from March 2020 forward, and report these additional premium returns to the Department, commensurate with continuing reductions in the exposure to loss for particular lines of insurance. Communicate with their policyholders about how they will return premiums... To date, private passenger automobile insurance companies have returned more than $1.75 billion in premium for 2020 to California drivers

Enforcement

Order of the Commissioner; reporting directives

Notes

Same instrument as CA-048. Its recital ties the 2020 refunds to 'the statewide and local public health stay-at-home orders'.
