§ 3567. Liquor liability insurance records

(a) All insurers licensed to sell insurance, including nonadmitted insurers with whom certain types of insurance may be placed as permitted by chapter 138 of Title 8, shall submit the following liquor liability insurance statistics to the commissioner of banking, insurance, securities, and health care administration who shall collect and maintain records on the following:

(1) the number of policies written, premiums written, and premiums earned for liquor liability insurance;

(2) the number of claims paid and dollar amount of claims paid; and

(3) the number of claims incurred and dollar amount of claims incurred.

(b) The commissioner of banking, insurance, securities, and health care administration shall make available to the general assembly the information collected and maintained under this section. The commissioner shall report to the general assembly the number of companies writing liquor liability insurance.

(c) If an insurer cannot determine the amount of premiums written or premiums earned because the liquor liability coverage is part of a policy or policies providing other liability coverage, reasonable methods of estimation may be used as approved by the commissioner of banking, insurance, securities, and health care administration.

(d) "Liquor liability insurance" means that type of liability insurance which covers the selling or serving of alcoholic beverages for a consideration and includes policies which provide other liability coverage in addition to liquor liability insurance.
