This bill clarifies that, unless the Commissioner rules otherwise as provided by 1915 of Title 18, life insurance and health insurance can only be written by admitted insurers licensed to write those types of insurance but the other types of insurance listed under present subsection (b) of 1905 may be placed with non-admitted insurers without going through the surplus lines law. The bill is necessary in order to clarify uncertainty under present law and to preserve access to necessary markets for Delaware insureds seeking to procure coverage for those types of insurance risks listed in present subsections (b)(4) through (8) of 1905.

An Act To Amend Title 18 Of The Delaware Code Relating To The Placement Of Certain Types Of Insurance With Non-admitted Insurers.
