California Department of Insurance Wants to be ‘Liked’

Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones and the California Department of Insurance really want you to like them.

CDI now has a Facebook page. The page was launched on Thursday, and had about a dozen “Likes” as soon as the page was announced in the afternoon.

The latest wall post is about the passage by the California Senate Insurance Committee’s of Senate Bill 1216, authored by Sen. Alan Lowenthal, D-Long Beach, which updates the state’s reinsurance laws in response to changes in federal law and revisions to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners’ Reinsurance Model Law and Regulations.

“I’m very pleased to announce the launch of the Department’s Facebook page,” Jones said in a statement. “Our presence on Facebook will allow us to reach a larger number of California’s consumers as the planet becomes more digitally connected in the 21st Century and beyond.”

The Facebook page will be updated accordingly with news and consumer related information, according to CDI.
