(a) (1) The entire amount of the premium due from a creditor shall be remitted to the insurer or its producer in accordance with the insurer's requirements. (2) No commissions may be paid to, or retained by, a person or entity not licensed and appointed in accordance with the Producer Licensing Model Act, § 23-64-501 et seq., nor to a depository institution or an affiliate of a depository institution unless appropriately licensed under § 23-64-101 et seq. (3) For purposes of this section, "person" includes any individual, corporation, association, partnership, or other legal entity. (b) The retention by the creditor of unearned premiums upon cancellation of the insurance without crediting to the debtor's account the amount of unearned insurance charges is prohibited. (c) Unless allowed by § 23-64-513 , rebates to the creditor of a portion of the premium charged to the debtor are prohibited as are other inducements provided to the creditor by an insurer or producer. The listing of the following activities as prohibited rebates or inducements is not intended to be restrictive, and the Insurance Commissioner may identify an activity as prohibited by rule or order: (1) Allowing insurers or producers to purchase certificates of deposit from the creditor or to maintain accounts with the creditor at less than the market interest rates and charges that the creditor applies to other customers for deposit accounts of similar amounts and duration; (2) Paying a commission to a person, including a creditor, who is not appropriately licensed as a producer in this state; and (3) Purchasing or offering to purchase certificates of deposit from, or maintaining or offering to maintain deposit accounts or investment accounts with, a creditor as part of a creditor-placed insurance solicitation. (d) Prohibited rebates or inducements do not include the providing of insurance tracking and other services incidental to the creditor-placed insurance program. (e) Nothing contained in this section shall prohibit or restrict an insurer or producer from maintaining a demand, premium deposit, or other account or accounts with a creditor for which the insurer or producer provides insurance if the accounts pay the market interest rate and charges that the creditor applies to other customers for deposit accounts of similar amounts and duration.
