(a) A travel insurer shall pay premium tax, as provided in §33-3-14 and §33-3-14a of this code, on travel insurance premiums paid by any of the following:

(1) An individual primary policyholder who is a resident of this state;

(2) A primary certificate holder who is a resident of this state who elects coverage under a group travel insurance policy; or

(3) An eligible group policyholder that is a resident in, or has its principal place of business or the principal place of business of an affiliate or subsidiary in, this state that purchases a blanket travel insurance policy for eligible blanket group members, subject to any apportionment rules that apply across multiple taxing jurisdictions or that permit the insurer to allocate premium on an apportioned basis in a reasonable and equitable manner in those jurisdictions.
