Insurance: delegation of notice obligation: agents.
Summary
Existing law provides that the obligation of an insurer to furnish any notice to its insured may be carried out by an insurer's general agent, provided, however, that an insurer's delegation of a notice obligation to a general agent shall not limit or negate the insurer's responsibility or liability if the general agent fails to provide the required notice. A "general agent" is a licensed fire and casualty broker-agent who manages the transaction of one or more classes of insurance written by the insurer. This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to this provision.
