AB 2198: Title insurance.

California · Assembly · 2025–2026 Regular Session · last verified August 15, 2026

What AB 2198 does, verified August 15, 2026

The proposed law aims to regulate rate changes in the title insurance industry. Currently, title insurers must wait 30 days before implementing a new rate. This bill would extend the waiting period to 40 days, requiring rates to be publicly displayed both in physical form and electronically on the company's website for at least 40 days. This would provide more transparency for consumers and prevent sudden rate changes.
