(a) The Insurance Commissioner may promulgate rules implementing this subchapter regulating the activities and relationships of providers, brokers, insurers, and their agents, subject to statutory limitations on administrative rulemaking.
(b) Conflict of Laws.
(1)
(A) If there is more than one (1) owner on a single policy and the owners are residents of different states, the life settlement contract shall be governed by the law of the state in which the owner having the largest percentage ownership resides or, if the owners hold equal ownership, the state of residence of one (1) owner agreed upon in writing by all of the owners.
(B) The law of the state of the insured shall govern if equal owners fail to agree in writing upon a state of residence for jurisdictional purposes.
(2)
(A) A provider from this state who enters into a life settlement contract with an owner who is a resident of another state that has enacted statutes or adopted regulations governing life settlement contracts shall be governed in the effectuation of that life settlement contract by the statutes and regulations of the owner's state of residence.
(B) If the state in which the owner is a resident has not enacted statutes or regulations governing life settlement contracts, the provider shall give the owner notice that neither state regulates the transaction upon which he or she is entering.
(C) For transactions in those states, however, the provider shall maintain all records required if the transactions were executed in the state of residence. The forms used in those states need not be approved by the State Insurance Department.
(3) If there is a conflict in the laws that apply to an owner and a purchaser in any individual transaction, the laws of the state that apply to the owner shall take precedence, and the provider shall comply with those laws.
