Existing law generally regulates classes of insurance, including liability insurance. Existing law defines "liability insurance" to include, among other things, insurance coverage against the legal liability of the insured, and against loss, damage, or expense incident to a claim arising out of the death or injury of any person as the result of negligence or malpractice in rendering professional services by any person who holds a certificate or license issued pursuant to the Medical Practice Act or the Osteopathic Initiative Act, or a license as a community clinic or health facility, as specified. This bill would prohibit an insurer from refusing to issue or renew or terminating professional liability insurance for health care providers, as specified, and from imposing a surcharge or increasing the premium or deductible solely based on any prohibited bases for discrimination, including a health care provider offering or performing abortion, contraception, gender-affirming health care, or care related to those health care services that are lawful in this state but unlawful in another state. The bill would prohibit an insurer from denying coverage for liability for damages arising from offering or performing abortion, contraception, gender-affirming health care, or care related to those health care services, if those services are within the scope of the insured's license, the services are lawful in the state where they are offered or performed, and the policy would otherwise cover liability for damages arising from performing or rendering other professional services within the insured's scope of license.
