Small business guide to commercial insurance.

Existing law creates the Department of Insurance, headed by the Insurance Commissioner, and generally regulates the business of insurance in the state. Existing law requires the Insurance Commissioner to develop a pamphlet to provide specified information to small business owners and others on the key features of, and suggested ways of, purchasing commercial property insurance. Existing law requires the pamphlet, to the extent feasible, to be made available to persons operating small businesses, business groups, chambers of commerce, and other persons and groups. Commencing on July 1, 2023, and at least every five years thereafter, this bill would require the Insurance Commissioner to complete a revision of that pamphlet. The bill would also make technical, nonsubstantive changes to those provisions.
