A surplus lines insurance producer seeking to procure or place surplus lines insurance in this state for an exempt commercial purchaser is not required to make a diligent search to determine whether the full amount or type of insurance sought by such exempt commercial purchaser can be obtained from an admitted insurer if both of the following requirements are met:
1. The surplus lines insurance producer has disclosed to the exempt commercial purchaser that such insurance may be available from an admitted insurer that may provide the purchaser with greater protection and with more regulatory oversight.
2. The exempt commercial purchaser has subsequently requested in writing that the surplus lines insurance producer place such insurance with an eligible surplus lines insurer.
