   AB 2591, as introduced, Dababneh. Insurance: electronic

disclosure required regarding earthquake insurance, the offer of
renewal for a workers' compensation policy, and life insurance
records.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would expand the authority of an insurer to provide
required documents to its consumers through electronic transmission.
