Insurance touches nearly every business in California, yet the role of the California Insurance Commissioner may be less familiar.
The Insurance Commissioner leads the California Department of Insurance, which oversees many aspects of the state’s insurance marketplace—from regulating insurance companies and monitoring financial solvency to licensing insurance professionals, reviewing market conduct, and supporting consumer protection.
Why does that matter?
Because insurance is part of the infrastructure businesses rely on to protect people and assets, manage uncertainty, and continue operating when something unexpected happens.
Over the next two weeks, we’ll share a short educational series to help our clients and community better understand California’s insurance marketplace, the responsibilities of the Commissioner, and some of the issues shaping insurance in our state.
At Bender Insurance Solutions, we believe informed businesses make stronger decisions.
