Statute text

The plan shall require a certificate of eligibility to accompany the application for coverage. The certificate shall indicate whether or not the applicant meets the criteria for the purchase of a good driver discount policy as set forth in Section 1861.025 and, if so, the name of the insurer and the insurer’s representative that denied the applicant automobile insurance coverage. The fact that an applicant has specified in the certificate of eligibility a particular insurer as having denied automobile insurance coverage shall not, by itself, be sufficient to sustain a finding in a formal action brought by the commissioner under Section 1858.1 that the specified insurer in fact denied the applicant automobile insurance coverage in violation of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 1861.02. The certificate shall be signed by the applicant under penalty of perjury to verify its accuracy, and shall only be required with applications for personal lines automobile insurance through the plan. The agent or broker shall also be required to sign the certificate of eligibility indicating that he or she has reviewed the certificate for completeness.
