FROM: Gary T. Yancey, District Attorney Costa
DATE: May 13, 1999 County
SUBJECT: Approval For Submission and Execution of Contract With the State of
California, Department of Insurance, for the Purpose of Combating
Automobile Insurance Fraud for the Period of July 1,1999 through
June 30, 2909.
REQUESTS)OR RECOMMENDATIONS&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Ie Recommended Action
Authorize the District Attorney to submit an application and execute a grant award contract, including any
extensions and amendments thereto, with the State of California, Department of insurance, for funding of the
Automobile Insurance Fraud Unit for the period July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000,in the amount of$257,165.
Ila Financial impact
None. The grant application will fund the salary and benefits for an attorney, investigator, and one-half clerk
assigned to the program. The automobile insurance fraud award is allocated from a trust fund financed by an
assessment per insured vehicle payable by the insurer. Of this amount, approximately one-half is earmarked for
distribution to district attorneys for enhanced prosecution of automobile insurance fraud. Supplantation is
prohibited. Expenditures and revenue for these positions are included in the District Attorney's 1999/2000
proposed budget.
111. Reasons for Recommendations/Background
The Legislature has determined that one of the significant factors driving up the costs of auto 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. While originally the problem was confined to the Los Angeles area, recent statistics
confirm that the problem is rapidly becoming a statewide concern.

The Department of Insurance-Fraud Bureau was established in 1979. However, resources committed to fighting
fraud were limited. In 1989 the Legislature enacted, through SB 2344 and SB 1103, statutes which provided
resources for enhanced automobile insurance fraud investigation and prosecution.
That investment has resulted in dramatically increasing the number of prosecutions for automobile insurance
fraud statewide. The implementation of the mandated carrier-based special investigation units and the
Automobile Insurance Claims Depository will operate to uncover large numbers of fraudulent claims which had
gone undetected before the existence of those programs.
IVa CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION
Failure to approve this recommendation would result in the inability of the District Attorney to apply for
$257,165 in state funds designated for use by Contra Costa County in the prosecution of automobile insurance
fraud. A county which fails to submit this application shall not be considered for funding, and their undistributed
funds shall be returned to the Department of Insurance to be reprogrammed.
