California Insurance Commissioner's travel funded by industry fees, not taxes; security provided by CHP at $260K annual cost.
The California Department of Insurance clarified that Commissioner Ricardo Lara’s official travel is funded by insurance industry fees, not taxpayer money, with NAIC events covered by a $150,000 annual CDI contribution.
Lara paid for personal days on trips, including a 2024 South Africa visit where he was present for 11 days, not 17.
Security during travel is provided by the California Highway Patrol under a $260,000 annual contract, covering all protection without extra costs.
The CDI admitted incomplete records and unreported trips, but confirmed security needs are based on CHP threat assessments.
