Text

It is declared that the purposes of this chapter are to provide orderly access for the insuring public of South Dakota to insurers not authorized to transact insurance in this state, through licensed surplus line brokers in South Dakota for insurance coverages not procurable from authorized insurers; to protect such authorized insurers, which must meet certain standards as to policy forms and rates, from unwarranted competition by unauthorized insurers who, in the absence of this chapter, would not be subject to similar requirements; and for other purposes as set forth in this chapter.
