(a) Whenever a financed insurance contract is cancelled, the insurer shall return whatever gross unearned premiums are due under the insurance contract to the premium finance company, either directly or via the agent or surplus lines broker placing the insurance, for the account of the insured or insureds as soon as reasonably possible, but in any event no later than 30 days after the effective date of cancellation.
(b) In the event that the crediting of return premiums to the account of the insured results in a surplus over the amount due from the insured, the premium finance company shall refund the excess to the insured or the agent or surplus lines broker, within 30 days after receipt by the premium finance company with the check or draft made payable to the agent or surplus lines broker and to the insured, provided that no refund shall be required if it amounts to less than one dollar ($1).
