§ 991.1604. Placement of surplus lines insurance
Insurance may be procured through a surplus lines licensee from nonadmitted insurers if the following requirements are met:
(i) The full amount or kind of insurance cannot be obtained from admitted insurers. Such full amount or kind of insurance or any portion thereof may be procured from eligible surplus lines insurers, provided that a diligent search is made among the admitted insurers who are writing, in this Commonwealth, coverage comparable to the coverage being sought.
(3) With respect to personal lines policies or contract forms, the policy or contract form used by the insurer does not differ materially from policies or contracts customarily used by admitted insurers for the kind of insurance involved. Personal lines coverage may be placed in an eligible surplus lines insurer using a unique form or policy designed for the kind of insurance only if a copy of such form is first filed with the department by the surplus lines licensee desiring to use it. The form shall be deemed approved by the commissioner unless, within ten (10) days after receipt of the same, the commissioner shall find that the use of such form will be contrary to law or public policy.
