The Legislature finds and declares the following:

(a) It is the policy of the state to conserve and protect its natural resources.

(b) Over 1,400 reports are submitted annually to the Legislature and the Governor, costing up to ten thousand dollars ($10,000) per report for printing and distribution.

(c) The California Environmental Protection Agency has historically submitted over 60 reports annually to the Legislature and the Governor. The agency’s boards, departments, and offices submit over 300 additional reports and studies, not including the hundreds of guidance documents, fact sheets and other printed materials produced.

(d) Submitting reports to the Legislature and Governor electronically, by compact disc, and posting the reports on state agency Web sites would greatly improve economic efficiency and environmental sustainability through minimized consumption of paper and printing materials, while reducing the economic and environmental costs associated with the production, distribution, and storage of printed reports.

(e) Access to the World Wide Web is continually expanding for the private sector and the general public. Providing reports electronically on state agency Web sites would grant greater accessibility to these reports and allow for greater sharing of knowledge and data with Californians and other information seekers. In some instances, a printed copy of a report is necessary. In those instances, economic efficiency and environmental sustainability can still be realized through various resource conservation efforts.

(f) Current law mandates state agencies to purchase recycled content products and materials, including printing and writing paper. There are also proven techniques and materials that are environmentally and economically preferable, and are widely available for use of all document production.

Section 1780.50
Status: in_force

(a) The Legislature finds and declares that consumers in the State of California have insurance needs which cannot always be met through the admitted insurance market. For this reason, many insurance consumers need access to insurance underwritten by nonadmitted insurers, as permitted by law. To help ensure that insurance consumers have access to financially sound and reputable nonadmitted insurers, it is in the public interest to authorize a surplus line advisory organization within the State of California to perform certain duties delegated by the Insurance Commissioner, as provided in this chapter.

(b) The Legislature further finds and declares that it is in the public interest for the surplus line advisory organization authorized under this chapter to be composed of surplus line brokers or persons involved in the business of surplus line insurance. The advisory organization’s activities shall constitute an integral part of the business of insurance. The advisory organization will facilitate the state’s ability to monitor and regulate the transfer of risk on a sound basis through surplus line brokers to nonadmitted insurers in accordance with Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 1760) and may perform certain functions in this state’s system of monitoring and regulating the persons and entities involved in this state in the surplus line segment of the insurance industry.

(c) The Legislature further finds and declares that the authorization of a surplus line advisory organization to perform the duties delegated by the Insurance Commissioner, as provided in this chapter, will further the policies of the State of California expressed in the findings set forth in this section. The oversight, supervision, and examination by the Insurance Commissioner provided for in this chapter are intended to subject the activities of the advisory organization to active state supervision.

(d) The Legislature further finds and declares that, as it is the obligation and duty of the elected Insurance Commissioner to regulate the business of insurance in the State of California, it is in the public interest to grant the Insurance Commissioner the authority and discretion to utilize the expertise and knowledge of a surplus line advisory organization to assist in carrying out that responsibility, as provided in this chapter.
