Sample CA P&C Practice Question

This original C3RT practice item is from the CA P&C question bank. It is not an official or released exam question.

In the state of California, what is the minimum notice period required for an insurer to mail or deliver a notice of cancellation or nonrenewal to a policyholder?

  1. 10 days notice is sufficient
  2. 30 days notice is required for all actions
  3. Notice only required for nonrenewal
  4. At least 20 days prior to the effective dateCorrect

Rationale

California law specifically requires at least 20 days' notice including the reason for the action. The 10-day option is insufficient, and notice is required for both cancellation and nonrenewal.
