made after the hearings are held.
The regulations will then become
law.
The proposed regulation would
prohibit the use of a promissory
note as a means of financing an
insurance policy. "No insurer
and no agent, broker, or other
person representing any insurer
shalr accept, transmit, or
otherwise assist in the
preparation or transmission of
any promissory note," the
regulation says.
Presently, promissory notes in
some cases are signed without
the prospective buyer knowing it
is an insurance contract.
Other highlights of the
regulation:
--require the applicant to pay
ten per cent or $25, whichever is
greater, of the first year's
payment.
--restrict the insurance agent
from "extending credit for, or in
any other manner whatsoever
defer or forgive such payment"
of the first year's premium.
