The following is the full text of the several insurance bills that have become laws : In relation to life and casualty insurance companies, associations and societies organized under the laws of this State: SECTION I. No order, judgment or decree providing for an accounting, enjoining, restrain ing or interfering with the prosecution of the business of any life or casualty insurance company, association or society of this State, or appointing a temporary or permanent receiver thereof, shall be made or granted otherwise than upon the application of the attorney-general, on his motion, or after his approval of a request in writing of the superintendent of the insurance department, except in an action by a judgment creditor, or in proceedings supplementary to execution, To amend chapter 282 of the laws of 1889, entitled “An act relating to life insurance companies and their agents doing business in this State." SECTION 1. Life insurance companies doing business in this State shall not make any discrimination in favor of individuals of the same class and of the same expectation of life, either in the amount of premium charged or any return of premium, dividends or other advantages, and no agent of any such insurance company shall make any contract for insurance or agreement as to such contract of insurance other than that which is plainly expressed in the policy issued, nor shall any such company or agent pay or allow, or offer to pay or allow, as inducement to any person to insure any rebates of premium or any special favor or advantage whatever in the dividends to accrue thereon, or any inducement whatever not specified in the policy. Whenever it shall appear to the satisfaction of the superintendent of the insurance department, after a hearing held by him upon due notice, that any company is issuing policies or making contracts that are either directly or indirectly a violation of this act, he shall thereupon, with the approval of the attorney-general, in writing, require said company and its officers and agents to refrain within twenty days from making or delivering any such policy or contract, and the making or delivery of any such policy or contract thereafter shall render such company or person guilty of a misdemeanor, punishable as provided in the third section of the act hereby amended. It is further made the duty of said superintendent, in case of the failure of any company or its officers or agents to comply with said requirements within the twenty days, to publish a notice of the fact in the State newspaper once a week for four weeks. SEC. 2. Section 2 of said act is hereby amended so as to read as follows: SEC. 2. No person shall act as agent, sub-agent or broker in the solicitation or procurement of applications for, or policy of insurance, for any company or corporation referred to in this act, without first procuring a certificate of authority from the superintendent of the insurance department. Said certificate of authority must be renewed annually, on the first day of January, or within sixty days thereafter, and a duplicate thereof shall be filed in the office of the said superintendent, provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall relate to agents operating solely on the weekly payment plan of insurance. |
