§3331. Requirement of insurance
A. In any lease transaction made under the authority of this Chapter, including both true leases and financed leases, and whether such leases are entered into for consumer or commercial purposes, the lessor may request or require the lessee to provide credit life insurance and credit health and accident insurance as additional security for such contract or agreement.
B. The cost of such insurance, if required by the lessor in connection with a consumer purpose financed lease, shall be deemed a portion of the interest rate charge imposed under the lease for purpose of computing maximum rates under R.S. 9:3312(A).
C. More than one policy of credit life insurance or policy of health and accident insurance, or both, on any one lessee may be enforced with respect to any one contract or agreement at any time; however, the aggregate coverage of credit life insurance or credit health and accident insurance, or both, on any one lessee with respect to any one contract or agreement cannot exceed the original amount due under such lease.
