California SB1209 amends insurance examination procedures to ensure timely corrective actions and penalties for non-compliance.

California SB1209 revises the Insurance Code to mandate that insurance companies take corrective actions to address violations identified during examinations. Companies must comply within agreed timeframes or face penalties up to $20,000 per failure. Extensions can be requested but may be denied if not made in good faith. The commissioner can issue orders to show cause and hold hearings if violations are suspected. The commissioner also has the authority to terminate or suspend examinations and refer cases to the State Bureau of Audits for review.
