All rights reserved. The ACORD name and logo are registered marks of ACORD .! , INDEPENDENT : INSURANCE GROUP Effective January 1, 2012, the issuance of certificates of insurance will fall under the terms of a new law passed by the Texas state legislature in 2011. The details are still emerging and there are still a lot of unanswered questions but based on information released by the Texas Department of Insurance this is how all insurance agencies across Texas will be handling certificates of insurance as of the first of the year. The new law requires all Texas agents to issue certiiicates only on forms approved by the Texas Department of Insurance. As of this date the Accord form 25 2010/OS version and seven TXDOT forms have been approved for use. If an insurance agent issues a liability certificate or completes an insurance questionnaire other than the Accord form 25, edition May, 2010 or other approved forms they will be subject to a fne of up to $1,000 per violation and the possible loss of their insurance license. In addition, as it pertains to insurance coverage, it will be against the law to add any verbiage to the certificate of insurance that is not a word for word reproduction of language that is found in the insurance policy of the insured listed on the certificate. For this reason we will now attach copies of the endorsements to the certificates so that certificate holders can review them to see if the policy language meets their specific requirements. We will be allowed to put a job description or reference number on the certificate if requested. This law applies to any certificate of insurance issued in the state of Texas regardless of the location of the person requesting the certificate. This means if an out-of-state certificate is requested we must still follow the guidelines established by this new law. We expect many owners and contractors will be surprised to learn that their in-house form and/or questionnaire can no longer be completed until they are filed and approved by the state of Texas. At some point in the future the state of Texas will establish a website that will list all approved certificate forms. As of December 27, 2011 this site has not been released to the public. As of the first of the year we have no choice but to issue a11 certiiicates of insurance using forms approved by the state of Texas. We will attach a notice to all of our certificates advising the certificate holder of the new law and the limitations we face in issuing certificates of insurance. It is possible that a certificate holder may contact you regarding this new law.

SB 425 requires that all certificate of insurance forms, including electronic evidence of insurance, be approved by the Texas Department of Insurance before the form can be used to certify insurance after Jan. 1, 2012. Already approved is the ACORD 25 form (2010/05), which is widely used in business as a standard certificate. Company-specific forms will have to be approved by TDI, or a company can agree to accept the ACORD 25 form as evidence of casualty insurance. Special certificate forms can be filed for approval at: P&C Intake Unit Texas Department of Insurance 333 Guadalupe Austin, TX 78701 After Jan. 1, 2012 it will be illegal for an agent or insurance company to issue e�idence of insurance on a certificate form that has not been approved by TDI. It is also illegal for anyone to require an agent or insurance company to use a certificate form that has not been approved. The law provides some guidance on the construction and limitations of certificates, as follows: • A certificate is not a policy of insurance and does not amend, extend, or alfer the coverage afforded by the referenced insurance policy. • A certificate shall not confer to a certificate holder new or additional rights beyond what the referenced policy or any executed endorsement provides. • A certificate may not contain a reference to a legal or insurance requirement contained in a contract other than the underlying contract of insurance or endorsement to the insurance policy. • A person may have a legal right to notice of cancellation, nonrenewal or material change or any similar notice only if (1) the person is named within the policy or an endorsement to the policy, and (2) the policy or endorsement, or a state law or rule, requires notice to be provided. Furthermore, the law provides this warning to certificate holders: "A certificate of insurance that is executed, issued, or required and that is in violation of this chapter is void and has no effect." If you have any questions about the new law, please contact the Texas Department of Insurance at 800.252.3439. You can view more information about the filing rules on the TDI website at htip:i7www.tdi.texas,gov/rulesrinfori�al121_6.I�tml, You can read the text of SB 425 at http:/,rwww.c�ilol state,tx.usltlodocs/82R/billtext(pdf/SB00425_F.pdf.
