RÉSUMÉ DIGEST

Existing law defines "fraudulent insurance act".
New law retains existing law and includes as a "fraudulent insurance act" a person's
presentation of a statement, estimate, invoice, or other related document to an insurer or
insured that misrepresents the scope of damages or costs of repairs associated with a property
insurance claim.
Prior law outlined additional fraudulent insurance acts.
New law repeals prior law.
Existing law authorizes the commissioner of insurance (commissioner) to subpoena persons
for attendance at hearings or investigation proceedings.
New law retains existing law and further authorizes the commissioner to issue subpoenas to
compel persons or entities to appear when he receives information that gives the reasonable
belief that such person or entity possesses or controls documentary or non-documentary
information relevant to an investigation for a violation of fraud pursuant to existing law.
New law requires the commissioner to serve subpoenas in the same manner as if issued by
a district court.
