Section 500.8123 - Notice by Agent to Policyholder; Report of Compliance; Penalty; Waiver.

Sec. 8123.
(1) Every agent who receives notice in the form prescribed in section 8122 that an insurer which he or she represents as an agent is the subject of a liquidation order shall within 15 days of the notice give notice of the liquidation order to each policyholder or other person named in a policy issued through the agent by the insured. The notice shall be sent by first class mail to the last address contained in the agent's records for each policyholder or other person named in the policy issued through the agent by the insurer, if the agent has a record of the address of the policyholder or other person. A policy shall be considered issued through an agent, if the agent has a property interest in the expiration of the policy or if the agent has had in his or her possession a copy of the declarations of the policy at any time during the life of the policy, unless the property interest or the files of the insured have been transferred to another. The written notice shall include the name and address of the insurer, the name and address of the agent, identification of the policy impaired, and the nature of the impairment including termination of coverage, as described in section 8119. Notice by a general agent satisfies the notice requirement for an agent under contract to the general agent. Each agent obligated to give notice under this section shall file a report of compliance with the liquidator.
(2) An agent failing to give notice or file a report of compliance as required in subsection (1) may be subject to payment of a penalty of not more than $1,000.00 and may have his or her license suspended after a hearing held by the commissioner.
(3) The liquidator may waive the duties imposed by this section if he or she determines that other notice to the policyholders of the insurer under liquidation is adequate.
