1. Except as otherwise provided in this section, for consumer credit insurance that is made available to and elected by a debtor before or with the credit transaction to which it relates, the term of the insurance must, subject to acceptance by the insurer, commence on the date on which the debtor becomes obligated to the creditor. If the insurer requires evidence of individual insurability and the evidence is provided to the insurer more than 30 days after the date on which the debtor becomes obligated to the creditor, the insurance may commence on the date on which the insurer determines the evidence to be satisfactory.
2. Except as otherwise provided in this section, for consumer credit insurance that is made available to and elected by a debtor after the credit transaction to which it relates, the term of the insurance must, subject to acceptance by the insurer, commence on a date not earlier than the date the election is made by the debtor and not later than 30 days after the date on which the insurance company accepts the risk for coverage. If the coverage does not commence on the date on which the insurance company accepts the risk for coverage, the date that coverage commences must be related to an objective method for determining the date, including, without limitation, the billing cycle, the payment cycle or a calendar month.
