(1)For a low-cost automobile insurance policy issued pursuant to the program, certified producers shall be entitled to the same commission rate as is paid by the California Automobile Assigned Risk Plan for private passenger, nonfleet risks under Article 4 (commencing with Section 11620). The commission rate prescribed in this paragraph shall only be in effect until the conditions described in paragraph
(2)are fulfilled.
(2)Effective upon the setting of policy rates in 2015 pursuant to Section 11629.72, for a low-cost automobile insurance policy issued pursuant to the program, certified producers shall be entitled to a commission rate of 12 percent or fifty dollars ($50), whichever is greater.
(b)Notwithstanding subdivision (a), the commissioner may at any time establish a commission for a low-cost automobile insurance policy issued pursuant to the program and may make the commission effective on any policy originated within an entire year, or any portion of a year, as is needed to provide an incentive to certified producers to sell low-cost automobile insurance to eligible applicants. The commissioner shall not establish a commission pursuant to this subdivision if the commissioner determines that setting the commission rate will result in a lower commission than the commission paid by the California Automobile Assigned Risk Plan for private passenger, nonfleet risks under Article 4 (commencing with Section 11620).
(c)No other fees of any kind may be charged or collected pursuant to this section and the sale of a low-cost policy under this article shall not be conditioned on the purchase of any other product or service.
