MEMORANDUM OF POINTS AND AUTHORITIES

I. INTRODUCTION

Pursuant to Rule 8.252(a), and Rule 8.520(g) of the California Rules

of Court, Plaintiffs and Respondents Association of California Insurance

Companies and Personal Insurance Federation of California

("Respondents"), through their attorney of record, request that the Court

take judicial notice of the following matters in support of Respondents'

Answer Brief on the Merits:

1. ·The Enrolled Report of the Department of Finance on

Assembly Bill No. 1353 (1971 Reg. Sess.) (October 8, 1971).

2. The July 9, 1971 version of Assembly Bill 1353, reflecting

prior and amended versions of the Bill (1971 Reg. Sess.).

3. The Bill Analysis of Senate Bill 1500 in the Senate

Committee on Insurance (2000 Reg. Sess.) (April 26, 2000).

4. The true significance of the English word "administer," as

defined in the American Heritage Dictionary.

Respondents request that this Court take judicial notice of items 1

through 4 in order to aid the Court in its interpretation of Insurance Code

section 790.06. Although not offered in the trial court, these items were all

granted judicial notice in the Court of Appeal.

II. ARGUMENT

A. ITEMS 1-3 ARE PROPERLY NOTICED

DOCUMENTATION OF RELEVANT LEGISLATIVE

HISTORY.

The Court may take judicial notice of "[o]fficial acts of the

legislative, executive, and judicial departments of the United States or of

any state .... " (Evid. Code§ 452, subd. (c).) This includes the legislative

history of a bill, such as committee reports and versions of the legislation.

(See Campbell v. Regents of University of California (2005) 35 Cal.4th

1

311, 3 3 0-3 31 (considering the prior versions and committee reports related

to a bill).)

The enrolled report of the Finance Department to the Governor on

Assembly Bill 1531 (Item 1) and the Assembly Amendment to the bill

(Item 2) are relevant to the issues because they demonstrate the

Legislature's intent to limit the role ofthe·Commissioner.

Further, the Senate analysis of Senate Bill 1500 in the 2000

legiSlative session (Item 3) is relevant to the issues because it demonstrates

the Legislature's continued intent to limit the role of the Commissioner.

B. ITEM 4 IS PROPERLY NOTICED AS IND I CIA OF

THE TRUE MEANING OF THE ENGLISH WORD

"ADMINISTER."

The Court may take judicial notice of"[ t ]he true significance of all

English words and phrases .... " (Evid. Code§ 451, subd. (e).) Dictionary

definitions are "the best arbiter of the ordinary and popular meaning, i.e.,

'[t]he true signification' of the word." Golden Security Thrift & Loan Assn.

v. First American Title Inc. Co. (1997) 53 Cal.App.4th 250, 256.

Here, the meaning of "administer" is relevant to the issues on appeal

as it illustrates the Legislature's intent to limit the Commissioner's

authority. A prior version of the Assembly Bill used the term "implement,"

but the Legislature amended the bill, removing "implement" in favor of

"administer." The definition of "administer" elucidates the intent behind

this amendment.

CONCLUSION

For the reasons above, Respondents respectfully request that the

Court grant its Motion for Judicial Notice in Support of Respondents'

Answer Brief on the Merits.
