encourage community development investing by admitted insurers.
(b)
Each insurer admitted in California that writes premium in California equal to or in excess of one hundred million dollars ($100,000,000) annually shall develop, and file with the commissioner no later than July 1, 2011, a policy statement on community development investments and community development infrastructure investments that expresses the insurer’s goals for these investments during the current and following calendar year. These filings shall be public information. For purposes of this subdivision, “policy statement” means a statement of principle intended to influence a decision or action.
