Abstract: Provides that an insurer, but not an insurance producer, may be asked to prepare an
addendum to a certificate of insurance that clarifies, explains, summarizes, or provides a
statement of the coverages provided by an insurance policy.
Present law provides that either an insurance producer or insurer may be asked to provide an
addendum to a certificate of insurance that clarifies, explains, summarizes, or provides a statement
of the coverages provided by an insurance policy.
Proposed law provides that only the insurer may be asked to provide an addendum to a certificate

by an insurance policy. Further provides that an insurance producer may not be asked to provide any
additional documents other than a certificate of insurance.
