AB 234 California Assembly · 2025-2026 Regular Session

California FAIR Plan Association governing committee.

Summary
The California FAIR Plan Association is a joint reinsurance association in which all insurers licensed to write basic property insurance participate to administer a program for the equitable apportionment of basic property insurance for persons who are unable to obtain that coverage through normal channels. Existing law establishes a governing committee for the association and prescribes its membership. This bill would require the Speaker of the Assembly and the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on Rules to serve as nonvoting, ex officio members of the governing committee, and would authorize each to name a designee to serve in their place. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.

What changed between versions

10/09/25 - Chaptered AB234 · 1 edit
MINOR
No substantive policy changes were made between these two versions. The difference is purely in presentation format: the first version is the traditional chaptered bill layout (with page numbers and formal headers), while the second is a web-page rendering of the same text that includes website navigation elements, metadata, and a slightly different line-break structure. The actual legal language of Section 10094(a)-(c) and the urgency statute provision in Section 2 is identical in both versions.
TECHNICAL

The bill text was reformatted from a traditional chaptered document layout (with page numbers, 'STATE OF CALIFORNIA AUTHENTICATED ELECTRONIC LEGAL MATERIAL' header, and formal spacing) to a web-page rendering that includes site navigation elements (home, FAQ, sitemap, login, search), publication metadata (Date Published: 10/10/2025), and a digest key section. No legal language was altered.
