Cal. Ins. Code § 10082 — Earthquake Insurance is in force in the current edition of the Code, and nothing recorded condemns it.
(a) The offer required by Section 10081 shall include coverage against risk of loss or damage from the peril of earthquake, in accordance with the minimum coverages required by subdivisions (a) and (b) of Section 10089.
(b) The earthquake coverage shall be in accordance with the insurer’s rules and rating plan, provided, however, that nothing contained in this chapter shall require an insurer to issue a policy of residential property insurance except in accordance with the insurer’s usual underwriting standards. However, those standards shall not permit an insurer to provide a policy of residential property insurance unless the offer of coverage required by this chapter is made.
