Section 44-3523
Motor vehicle service contract reimbursement insurance policy; requirements.

(1) No motor vehicle service contract reimbursement insurance policy shall be issued, sold, or offered for sale in this state unless the policy conspicuously states that the insurer will pay on behalf of the motor vehicle service contract provider all sums which the provider is legally obligated to pay in the performance of its contractual obligations under the motor vehicle service contracts issued or sold by the provider.

(2) The motor vehicle service contract reimbursement insurance policy shall completely and fully reimburse the motor vehicle service contract provider for all repair costs incurred under the motor vehicle service contract from the first dollar of coverage. The motor vehicle service contract reimbursement insurance policy shall not require or allow a motor vehicle service contract provider to assume any portion of direct or first-dollar liability for repairs under a motor vehicle service contract. The motor vehicle service contract reimbursement insurance policy shall not include any provision whereby the insurer provides coverage in excess of reserves held by the motor vehicle service contract provider or only in the event of the motor vehicle service contract provider's insolvency or default. All unearned premium reserves and claim reserve funds shall be established as liabilities on the books of the insurer in accordance with statutory accounting practices. This subsection shall not apply to programs directly obligating an automobile dealer to perform under the motor vehicle service contract.
