ADOPT Resolution No. 2013/282 approving and authorizing the District Attorney to submit an application and
execute a grant award agreement, and any extensions or amendments thereof, pursuant to State guidelines, with the
State Department of Insurance for funding of the Automobile Insurance Fraud Prosecution Program in the amount of
$678,088 for the period July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The grant will fund salaries and benefits for 2.25 FTE Attorneys, one Sr. Inspector, one Sr. Inspector-Temp, and .25
of a clerk assigned to the program. Supplantation is prohibited. Expenditures and revenue for grant positions are
included in the District Attorney's 2013/14 budget.
BACKGROUND:
The State Legislature has determined that one of the significant factors driving up the cost of automobile insurance is
fraud. While fraud is recognized as a growing problem across the country, California is an area of concerted criminal
activity in insurance fraud. The Automobile Insurance Fraud Prosecution award is allocated from a trust fund
financed by an assessment per insured vehicle, payable by the insurer. A portion of the assessment amount is
earmarked for distribution to District Attorneys for enhanced prosecution of automobile fraud.
