HRS §431:8-306

Surplus lines insurance contracts must show broker and warning

This section says that every surplus lines insurance contract must show the broker's name and address. It also requires a warning on the first page that the insurer is not licensed by Hawaii and that claims are not covered by the state's guaranty fund.

The statute, as written — Signature of broker and special endorsement of surplus lines policy

Every insurance contract procured and delivered as a surplus lines coverage pursuant to this part, including any evidence of insurance other than a policy, shall: (1) Bear the name and address of the surplus lines broker who procured it, and (2) Have stamped or written conspicuously upon the first page of the contract the following: "This insurance contract is issued by an insurer which is not licensed by the State of Hawaii and is not subject to its regulation or examination. If the insurer is found insolvent, claims under this contract are not covered by any guaranty fund of the State of Hawaii."
