Consumer Watchdog Challenges Insurance Commissioner Lara's Proposed Intervenor Rules Due to Last-Minute Letter
Consumer Watchdog has requested the Office of Administrative Law to reject Insurance Commissioner Ricardo Lara's proposed intervenor regulations, citing a last-minute letter that was added after the public comment period closed. The letter allegedly introduced new arguments and materials without allowing public input, violating California law. Over 30 organizations have criticized Lara's proposal, which is opposed by consumer and civic groups and supported only by insurance companies and corporate lobbies.
