Bonds: public entities as beneficiaries.

Summary

The bill changes California law so insurers must give a 30‑day notice (instead of 20) before canceling an automobile policy, with special rules for non‑payment cancellations. It also adds a rule that any bond issued to a public entity for construction or related projects is not valid until the entity promises to make all required payments to the principal (or surety) and to perform its contractual obligations. These changes affect insurers, policyholders, sureties, principals, and public entities that receive bonds.
