(a)(1) The Department of Insurance shall conduct a study of the property, liability, and builders' risk insurance coverages available to affordable housing entities as defined in Section 13907 and receiving a grant, loan, or tax credit awarded by the Department of Housing and Community Development or the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee intended to serve lower income households, as defined in Section 50079.5 of the Health and Safety Code.

(2) The department shall conduct this study in consultation with the affordable housing entities described in paragraph (1), admitted insurers, providers of nonprofit insurance services, risk-sharing pools for public housing authorities and nongovernmental owners of affordable housing properties, insurance captives, risk retention groups, and other relevant state agencies, including the Department of Housing and Community Development and the California Tax Credit Allocation Committee.

(b) An insurer, upon the request of the commissioner, shall provide and make available any information necessary to comply with the requirements of this section.  Any information provided to the department by an insurer shall be considered a trade secret, confidential, privileged, or otherwise exempt from disclosure under the California Public Records Act (Division 10 (commencing with Section 7920.000) of Title 1 of the Government Code).  Nothing in this section prohibits the commissioner from preparing and publishing reports, analyses, or other documents using the data received under this section so long as the data is in aggregate form and does not permit the identification of information related to individual companies.
