(A104, R169, S915)
AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 38-73-540, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, RELATING TO ASSIGNED RISKS, SO AS TO PROVIDE ASSIGNED RISK POOLS SHALL ACCEPT WORKERS' COMPENSATION INSURANCE POLICIES ON THE BASIS THAT THEY PROVIDE COVERAGE TO VENDORS PROVIDING LOGGING SERVICES TO THE NAMED INSURED.
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:
Assigned risk pools
SECTION 1. Section 38-73-540 of the 1976 Code is amended to read:
"Section 38-73-540. Agreements may be made among insurers with respect to the equitable apportionment among them of insurance which may be afforded applicants who are in good faith entitled to, but who are unable to procure, insurance through ordinary methods, and the insurers may agree among themselves on the use of reasonable rate modifications for this insurance. These agreements and rate modifications are subject to the commissioner's approval. However, regardless of any provision of this section or this article to the contrary, assigned risk pools shall accept a policy of workers' compensation insurance on the basis that it provides coverage to a vendor who provides logging services to a named insured or on the basis that the policy provides coverage to an association of these vendors."
Time effective
SECTION 2. This act takes effect upon approval by the Governor.
Approved the 31st day of May, 1991.
