AB 2038: Residential property insurance: cancellations and nonrenewals.

The bill aims to regulate residential property insurance cancellations and nonrenewals. It requires insurers to renew policies under certain circumstances, such as a total loss to the primary insured structure caused by a disaster, for at least three annual renewal periods, but no less than 36 months of coverage from the date of the loss. This ensures that insureds are not left without coverage during a prolonged period. The bill also prohibits insurers from canceling or refusing to renew policies for two years after the declaration of a state of emergency if the cancellation or nonrenewal is based solely on the fact that the insured structure is located in an area in which a wildfire has occurred.
