Position
- SB-1107 will likely increase auto insurance premiums, as well as increase lawsuits at a time when everything is already very expensive and likely to be much more expensive in the near future.
- Note: Assemblymember Mike Gipson is on the Assembly Insurance committee who is meeting on 6/22/2022 and is scheduled to vote on this legislation. I inquired about Gipson’s position on how this would affect the businesses and communities financially and would increase lawsuit. Gipson’s staff expressed similar concerns.
