Both sides are claiming victory in a dispute over proposed regulations for the title insurance industry in California after the state Office of Administrative Law returned the regulations to the insurance department for clarification.
The proposed regulations would have established interim maximum rates and required title insurers to report their costs and operations, which would be the basis for more long-term maximum rates.
"The OAL's review effectively validates the department's authority to issue such regulations, but OAL has asked the department to make specific changes to clarify certain terms and eliminate certain ambiguities which OAL found," said State Insurance Commissioner Steve Poizner.
