Insurance: electronic transmissions.

Existing law authorizes an insurer to provide notices of insurance transactions by electronic transmission, if the insurer complies with specified requirements, including that the insurer acquires the consent of the person to opt in to receive the notice by electronic transmission. Existing law requires a licensee who is required to transmit a record by return receipt, registered mail, certified mail, signed written receipt of delivery, or other method of delivery evidencing actual receipt by the person, and who transmits that record electronically, to maintain a process or system that demonstrates proof of delivery and actual receipt of the record. Existing law requires a licensee to annually provide one free printed copy of a record, as described, upon request by the person. This bill would eliminate that requirement.
