BACKGROUND:
The State Legislature has determined that one of the significant factors driving up the cost of automobile insurance is
fraud. The Organized Automobile Fraud Activity Interdiction Program award is allocated from funds received per
Insurance Code 1874.8, whereby each insurer doing business in California pays an annual fee of $.50 for each
vehicle insured under an insurance policy it issues in this state. A portion of the assessment amount is earmarked for
distribution to District Attorneys for enhanced investigation and prosecution of organized automobile insurance
fraud.
