INSURANCE CODE
SECTION 2070-2084
2070. All fire policies on subject matter in California shall be on
the standard form, and, except as provided by this article shall not
contain additions thereto. No part of the standard form shall be
omitted therefrom except that any policy providing coverage against
the peril of fire only, or in combination with coverage against other
perils, need not comply with the provisions of the standard form of
fire insurance policy or Section 2080; provided, that coverage with
respect to the peril of fire, when viewed in its entirety, is
substantially equivalent to or more favorable to the insured than
that contained in such standard form fire insurance policy.
2070.1. (a) Any insurer whose insured has made a claim under his or
her residential fire or property insurance policy for loss due, in
whole or in part, to corrosive soils shall, at least 30 days before
the expiration of the applicable statute of limitation, notify its
insured in writing of the statute of limitation applicable to the
insured's claim for damage. Failure of the insurer to provide the
written notice shall operate to toll the applicable statute of
limitation for a period of 30 days from the date written notice is
actually given. The notice shall not be required if the insurer has
received notice that the insured is represented by an attorney.
This section applies only to claims presented and not denied prior
to January 1, 1989, and to claims presented on or after January 1,
1989.
2071. (a) The following is adopted as the standard form of fire
insurance policy for this state:
