Yep! But Lara only recently threated to bring in enforcement after negotiations with Insurers over liability failed [0]

It's never actually been enforced before in CA.

Edit: listen to CharlesW. I'm incorrect on the fact that it wasn't enforced until recently

Incorrect, it's been enforced since it passed. Soon after it passed, insurance companies refunded over $1.2 billion to consumers based on California Department of Insurance (CDI) mandates. You can find many more examples.

Lara could make radical changes if he wanted to, but ever since the court sided with him twice against the FAIR association, the insurance companies have sort of gone to war against him.
