Universal Citation: LA Admin Code XIII-5703

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

A. We believe that these policies can be made acceptable more easily by the use of a rider or endorsement. For your guidance, we have reproduced below a form of rider or endorsement which will accomplish the purpose.

Note: The language which we have suggested is not intended to preclude your substituting any appropriate language which is substantially similar in context.

B. If the language of the rider or endorsement which you intend to use is identical with that suggested, you may issue policies, already approved, containing such rider or endorsement, before sending them to this department for approval. Provided, however, that such rider or endorsement must be sent for approval within 30 days of the date of this Directive, and provided further, that if the language suggested is not used, then prior approval must be obtained before policies may be issued.

C. Suggested Rider
