(B) Further, no person, depository institution, or affiliate of a depository institution may reject an insurance policy solely because the policy has been issued or underwritten by a person who is not associated with the depository institution or affiliate when insurance is required in connection with a loan or extension of credit;

(2) The loan or extension of credit and related insurance transactions shall be completed through separate documentation; and

(3) A loan for premiums on required insurance, other than a loan for credit insurance premiums or flood insurance premiums, shall not be included in the primary credit without the written consent of the customer.

(b) (1) (A) As a condition for extending credit or offering any product or service that is equivalent to an extension of credit, no person, depository institution, or affiliate of a depository institution may require that a customer obtain insurance from a depository institution, an affiliate of a depository institution, or a particular insurer or producer.

(B) Nothing in this subchapter or 23-60-101 et seq., shall be construed to prohibit depository institution or affiliate of a depository institution personnel from informing customers that insurance is required in order to obtain a loan or extension of credit or that loan or extension of credit approval is contingent upon the customers' obtaining acceptable insurance.

(2) Depository institution or affiliate of a depository institution personnel may also inform customers that insurance is available from the depository institution, an affiliate of a depository institution, or particular unaffiliated third parties, and indicate how to obtain additional information.
