Anti-Steering SB 551 Passed by California Senate Insurance Committee

California Senate SB 551, introduced by Senator Jackie Speier, who had last year sponsored SB 1648, which would have outlawed insurer-owned auto body facilities in the state (and failed to pass), was passed by the California Senate's Insurance Committee in a May 7 vote.

SB 551 would "codify existing regulation that prohibits an insurer from 'steering' insureds or claimants to a particular automotive repair dealer and would provide civil remedies for violators of the act."
