(L. 1979 H.B. 506 § 1, A.L. 1985 S.B. 329, A.L. 1986 S.B. 701 merged with H.B. 1554 Revision, A.L. 2001 S.B. 193)
Effective 1-01-03
(1991) Where statute defining "insurer" is ambiguous and legislative intent was to protect independent agents from termination without notice by insurance companies that write either property or casualty insurance, definition of term "insurer" for purposes of sections 375.031 to 375.039 includes companies which write either property or casualty insurance, as well as those who write both types of insurance.
