Universal Citation: LA Admin Code XI-1325

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 3, March 20, 2024

A. The name of the actual insurer and the form number or numbers advertised shall be identified and made clear in all of its advertisements. An advertisement shall not use a trade name, any insurance group designation, name of the parent company of the insurer, name of a particular division of the insurer, service mark, slogan, symbol or other device which, without disclosing the name of the actual insurer, would have the capacity and tendency to mislead or deceive as to the true identity of the insurer.

Note: The above Section does not require disclosure of a policy form number where the advertisement does not relate specifically to a particular policy or benefit, but is general in nature and would be regarded as Institutional Advertisement according to custom and usage.

B. No advertisement shall use any combination of words, symbols, or physical materials which by their content, phraseology, shape, color, or other characteristics are so similar to combination of words, symbols or physical materials used by agencies of the federal government or of this state, or otherwise appear to be of such a nature that it tends to confuse or mislead prospective insureds into believing that the solicitation is in some manner connected with an agency of the municipal, state, or federal government.

AUTHORITY NOTE: Promulgated in accordance with R.S. 22:2.
