Dear Mr. Freeman:
Subject: Request for publication in your Bulletin To All Members of the following item regarding "Termination of Non Admitted Auto Liability Coverage".
Effective May 25, 1994, the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) will begin to cancel all non admitted insurance company proof certificates (SR-22's/ SR-1P's) on its driver license database. Drivers who fail to maintain an SR-22 when proof of financial responsibility is required will be suspended.
The full implementation of Regulation 2174 on May 24, 1993, required that insurers be on the California Department of Insurance "Listing of Filings" if they wished to continue placements of motor vehicle liability coverage in this state. Unless the insurance company name appears on the 'Listing of Filings', the DMV will not consider any automobile or motor vehicle liability policy based on a non admitted company to be valid after May 25, 1994.
Any questions regarding this bulletin may be addressed to Carmen Rios, Manager of DMV's Financial Responsibility Policy Unit, at (916) 657-6347.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Financial Responsibility Policy Unit
