Surplus Line Insurers

California Insurance Code ("CIC") Sections 1765.1 and 1765.2 establish the following two surplus line carrier categories:

  • List of Approved Surplus Line Insurers (LASLI) carriers are preapproved carriers who have met the standards set forth in CIC Section 1765.2 and
  • Eligible Carriers are carriers who have met the standards set forth in CIC Section 1765.1 and the Non-Admitted and Reinsurance Reform Act ("NRRA"); CDI does not pre-approve these carriers. 

NAIC International Insurers Department ("IID List") - Surplus line carriers that are non-U.S. domiciled ("alien") nonadmitted insurers and are listed on the Quarterly Listing of Alien Insurers issued by the NAIC's International Insurers Department are eligible under Section 1765.1. 

Export List Hearings

CIC Section 1763.1 authorizes the Commissioner to maintain a list of types of insurance coverage or risk exempt from certain requirements ("Export List"). The Commissioner, or the Commissioner's designee, holds public hearings concerning the types coverages listed on the Export List.
