HRS §431:10D-115

Life insurers cannot buy or trade policy dividend rights

This section stops a life insurance company and its agents from buying or trading the dividend rights on its own participating life insurance policies. It also bans taking those rights by assignment, except for policy loans. This rule protects policyholders' dividend interests.

The statute, as written — Dealing in dividends

No life insurer nor any of its representatives, producers, or affiliates, shall buy, take by assignment other than in connection with policy loans, or otherwise deal or traffic in any rights to dividends existing under participating life insurance policies issued by the insurer.
