California lawmakers proposing changes in the state’s insurance laws face their first significant hurdles in the next two weeks. These bills must be set, heard and passed by the Insurance Committee in their house by May 7 (or sooner) to meet house of origin deadlines or risk becoming a two-year bill—meaning the bill will not come up for consideration again until 2022.

Here Manatt provides a snapshot of various insurance policy proposals that will be at the forefront of legislative and regulatory deliberations this year.
