The California Department of Insurance (CDI) is the consumer protection agency that regulates the state's insurance marketplace. Established in 1868, its mission is to protect consumers, foster a vibrant and stable insurance marketplace, and enforce laws related to insurance in a fair and impartial manner. Led by the publicly elected Insurance Commissioner, the CDI oversees the conduct of insurance companies, agents, and brokers, investigates insurance fraud, handles consumer complaints, and ensures that insurance products are compliant with state laws and are financially sound.
