Insurance.

Existing law provides, only until January 1, 2013, that an insurer issuing professional liability insurance policies to health care providers is not liable for statements made in any of specified communications, including a written notice of nonrenewal or evidence submitted in a court proceeding or informal inquiry in which nonrenewal is an issue, unless the statement was made in bad faith. This bill would extend the operative date of that provision until January 1, 2016.
