RULE §15.105Evidence of Insurance

(a) A surplus lines agent must promptly provide the insured or the client's agent with written evidence of insurance containing complete terms, conditions, and exclusions pertaining to the coverage to protect all parties against misunderstanding.

(b) If, after delivery to the insured or the insured's agent of any document evidencing insurance coverage, there is any change as to the identity of the insurers or the portion of the direct risk assumed by the insurer as stated in the previously mentioned original documents, or any other material change as to the insurance coverage, the surplus lines agent must promptly send to the insured or the insured's agent a substitute certificate, cover note, confirmation, or endorsement for the original. All substitute documents must accurately show the current status of the coverage and the responsible insurers.
