Assembly adds legislative leaders to FAIR Plan governing committee
Summary
AB 234 allows the Speaker of the Assembly and Senate President pro tem (or designees) to sit on the FAIR Plan governing committee; the Assembly passed the bill with urgency votes recorded.
The California State Assembly on March 6 approved Assembly Bill 234, authorizing the Speaker of the Assembly and the Senate President pro tem, or their designees, to serve on the FAIR Plan governing committee.
"It's very apparent that the fair plan plays an important role in the overall health of the insurance market and more importantly, in our service to our constituents," Assemblymember Calderon said while presenting the bill. She asked for an aye vote to add legislative leadership representation to the governing board.
Assemblymember Gibson described the measure as a transparency and accountability bill that would provide legislative leadership "eyes and ears" for decisions affecting the FAIR Plan. The clerk recorded Ayes 60, Noes 0 both on the urgency and on the measure; the floor record shows the measure passed.
The floor discussion focused on governance and oversight; the excerpt did not include details about statutory amendments to the FAIR Plan beyond the membership change or fiscal implications.
