No warranty reimbursement insurance policy shall be issued, sold, or offered for sale in this state unless the policy meets the conditions set forth in this section and the Insurance Commissioner has not disapproved the policy.
1. The policy states that the issuer of the policy shall reimburse or pay on behalf of the vehicle protection product warrantor all covered sums which the warrantor is legally obligated to pay or shall provide all service that the warrantor is legally
obligated to perform according to the warrantor’s contractual obligations under the provisions of the insured warranties issued by the warrantor.
2. The policy states that in the event payment due under the terms of the warranty is not provided by the warrantor within sixty
(60)days after proof of loss has been filed according to the terms of the warranty by the warranty holder, the warranty holder may file directly with the warranty reimbursement insurance company for reimbursement.
3. The policy provides that a warranty reimbursement insurance company that insures a warranty shall be deemed to have received payment of the premium if the warranty holder paid for the vehicle protection product and the insurer’s liability under the policy shall not be reduced or relieved by a failure of the warrantor, for any reason, to report the issuance of a warranty to the insurer.
4. The policy has the following provisions regarding cancellation of the policy:
a. the issuer of a reimbursement insurance policy shall
not cancel such policy until a notice of cancellation
in writing has been mailed or delivered to the
Insurance Commissioner and each insured warrantor,
b. the cancellation of a reimbursement insurance policy
shall not reduce the issuer’s responsibility for
vehicle protection products sold prior to the date of
cancellation, and
c. in the event an insurer cancels a policy that a
warrantor has filed with the Commissioner, the
warrantor shall do either of the following:
(1)file a copy of a new policy with the
Commissioner, before the termination of the prior
policy, providing no lapse in coverage following
the termination of the prior policy, and
(2)discontinue offering warranties as of the
termination date of the policy until a new policy
becomes effective and is accepted by the
Commissioner. Added by Laws 2008, c. 353, § 7, eff. Jan. 1, 2009.
