California Wants to Impose Insurance Surcharge to Develop Emergency Fund

The California Senate Banking, Finance and Insurance Committee has passed a bill that, among other things, would impose a surcharge of 4.8 percent on commercial and residential fire and multiperil insurance policies to assist the state with the creation of an Emergency Response Fund in the State Treasury.

California has already established the California Emergency Management Agency to manage emergency and disaster response services, including activities necessary to prevent, respond to, recover from and mitigate the effects of emergencies and disasters to people and property. SB 1258 would require funds to be deposited into the Emergency Response Fund to be allocated to the program. The bill would also require the Secretary of California Emergency Management to allocate funds to specific entities to enhance or sustain fire and rescue disaster mutual aid capacity to combat the effect of all hazard disasters, according to the bill text.

The special purpose surcharge imposed on insurers would apply to all policies with combined property and liability coverage issued or renewed on or after July 1, 2010.

The Governor’s office estimates the surcharge will generate $238 million in the current year, and about $480 million annually from 2011 on.

The bill is scheduled to be heard in the Senate Appropriations Committee.

Testimonials

"Working with Steve Hirschler was a great experience. I wish all real estate agents were like him. We came to Steve because we were looking for an investment and a vacation property, somewhere we could go to get away from the busy valley life in Los Angeles County and enjoy the mountains of Big Bear where we use to vacation as little kids. His method and personality really came through from the first meeting with him and through the process of finding our great little Gambrel in the Moonridge woods. At our first meeting, he helped take the car seat out of our truck so he could put it in his truck and drive us around the neighborhoods that he had planned to show us. He was very patient, being the father of 4 daughters himself, our one little boy was probably no trouble to have around at all. Steve is very knowledgeable about the area, he showed us many different places and made sure we kept in mind important strengths and desirabilities of particular neighborhoods. He really helped us to make a great decision about the Gambrel property. We knew it was going to be a lot of work, being a fixer REO property but my husband and I needed a project to keep us busy anyway. We had a certain budget, went back and forth on whether or not we needed one bedroom or 2 bedrooms, or a garage and Steve really paid special attention to this where other real estate agents would just keep trying to increase the bottom line and show us properties not always within our strict price range. We finally chose the 2 bedroom Gambrel with one bathroom and a fireplace. We were impressed with the way Steve marketed himself, we really enjoyed the streaming videos and the tone of his voice when describing properties. We were also impressed by his track record and all of the properties that he sold within the community. I enjoyed when he pointed out the properties that had sold. His confidence was contagious. The customer service Steve provided was something that had not been familiar to us in quite some time. He was not aggressive in a way where we felt anxious or rushed. He followed up with us on an almost daily basis and replied at once. That was probably the most pleasant thing about the whole transaction, his communication skills and the high class customer service that he provided. My husband and I are not wealthy, we both work full time, but Steve treated us like we were customers willing to spend a million bucks. Thank You, Steve! "Steve was great in handling every aspect of the purchase. He is very knowledgeable about real estate in Big Bear and his advice regarding the different negotiations (price, contingencies, etc.) resulted in a smooth purchase.

I have been happy to refer him to several of my friends who are interested in buying in Big Bear!

Great guy....great job!" -- May 4, 2008 by Scott Mac Gregor "Steve gets an A for effort in working the details of a transaction. We enjoyed working with him and appreciate his continued interest and support." -- May 3, 2008 by Gordon Leon "I first met Steve when the Agent that I had gone to see never showed up at the house he was supposed to show me. I called the number on the sign and as luck would have it, it was Steve's listing. He then took me to a home that I made an offer on and bought. I called him again to help me find a home for my son, and again I made an offer upon seeing it for the first time. Yes, I would recommend him in an instant. Mary Simone" -- May 2, 2008 by Mary Simone "Steve Hirschler is a hard working, enthusiastic agent. Whether you are buying or selling, you will be more than satisfied with his knowledge, ability to communicate and follow-up once the paperwork is signed." -- May 2, 2008 by Chris Ricks "Extremely profession in all aspects. A pleasure to deal with. An all around good guy." -- May 2, 2008 by Robert Cutuli
