Saying the property-insurance market "remains in crisis," the state asked a federal judge to toss out a challenge to a law that places restrictions on roofers.
Workers' comp fraud in California resulted in the loss of more than $161 million during the 20-21 fiscal year, according to the state insurance department.
The lawsuit contends, in part, that the restrictions violate First Amendment rights as they deal with issues such as advertising and being able to advise homeowners about insurance coverage.
