Csiszar Subject: Revised Guidelines and Reporting Requirements for Surplus Lines Business This Bulletin supersedes and replaces Bulletin Number 92-9 dated December 14, 1992. The purpose of this bulletin is to update guidelines for the placement of business with eligible surplus lines insurers and to revise Department of Insurance reporting requirements to effect amendments to S. C. Code Sections 38-45-20, 38-45-30, and 38-45-110 mandated by Act # 312 of 2000 (Act) effective May 26, 2000. Act # 312 eliminates the requirement that business placed with eligible surplus lines insurers be filed with and approved by the Department of Insurance. Business with policy effective dates prior to the effective date of the Act must receive approval; however, business as of May 26, 2000 and thereafter is no longer required to be submitted. Endorsements, cancellations, etc., that apply to previously approved business are also not required to be submitted. The Department will no longer keep duplicate records of broker business. Brokers will be required to submit certain summary information by January 31 of each year for the previous calendar year for statistical, tax collection and distribution purposes. Information that must be reported is detailed on the attached year end summary form SCDOI Form 2001A. Brokers should review this form in detail to verify that required information is being accumulated in their records so that it may be properly reported at year end. For brokers who reported business in 1999, this form is also being supplied on an Excel spreadsheet electronic file. The Department requests a completed electronic form be returned to the Department along with the signed paper form to expedite processing of this information. The electronic form will be supplied to other brokers upon request cords so that it may be properly reported at year end. For brokers who reported business in 1999, this form is also being supplied on an Excel spreadsheet electronic file. The Department requests a completed electronic form be returned to the Department along with the signed paper form to expedite processing of this information. The electronic form will be supplied to other brokers upon request. Rather than use this Bulletin to restate various provisions of Chapter 45 of Title 38 that deal with insurance brokers and surplus lines insurance, it is recommended that brokers and their employees review Chapter 45 to refamiliarize themselves with the requirements of this section. Code provisions other than those affecting filing and approval by the Department are unaffected by the Act and continue in full force and effect. Bulletin 92-9 is hereby withdrawn. Questions regarding Act # 312, this bulletin, or revised filing and reporting guidelines should be directed to the attention of Mr. Bobby Troutman at (803) 737-6141. Questions may also be E-mailed to the South Carolina Department of Insurance at the following address: btroutman@doi.sc.gov. ## Nearby sections - [SC Insurance Bulletin 1999-01 Bulletin 1999-1 Offer of Optional Additional Uninsured Motorist Coverage and Optional Underinsured M](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/SC_INS_B_1999-01.md) - [SC Insurance Bulletin 1999-02 Bulletin 1999-2 Point of Service Options](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/SC_INS_B_1999-02.md) - [SC Insurance Bulletin 1999-03 Bulletin 1999-3 Premium Finance Companies](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/SC_INS_B_1999-03.md) - [SC Insurance Bulletin 1999-04 Bulletin 1999-4 Recent Statutory Changes to Chapter 53 Affecting Bail Bondsmen and Runners](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/SC_INS_B_1999-04.md) - [SC Insurance Bulletin 1999-05 Bulletin 1999-5 Repeal of Countersignature Requirements](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/SC_INS_B_1999-05.md) - [SC Insurance Bulletin 1999-06 Bulletin 1999-6 Credit Insurance](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/SC_INS_B_1999-06.md) - [SC Insurance Bulletin 2000-03 Bulletin 2000-03 Withdrawals of Automobile Insurance Bulletins and Orders](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/SC_INS_B_2000-03.md) - [SC Insurance Bulletin 2000-04 Bulletin 2000-04 Personal Lines Pro-Rata Cancellation](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/SC_INS_B_2000-04.md) - [SC Insurance Bulletin 2000-05 Bulletin 2000-05 Pre-Paid Legal Services](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/SC_INS_B_2000-05.md) - [SC Insurance Bulletin 2000-06 Bulletin 2000-06 Revised Guidelines and Reporting Requirements for Surplus Lines Business](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/SC_INS_B_2000-06.md) - [SC Insurance Bulletin 2000-09 Bulletin 2000-09 Notice of Regulation 69-56 Named Storm or Wind/Hail Deductible](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/SC_INS_B_2000-09.md) - [SC Insurance Bulletin 2000-10 Bulletin 2000-10 Pre licensing Education Insurance Requirements for Insurance Agents](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/SC_INS_B_2000-10.md) - [SC Insurance Bulletin 2000-12 Bulletin 2000-12 Deadline for Complying with Article V of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/SC_INS_B_2000-12.md) - [SC Insurance Bulletin 2000-13 Bulletin 2000-13 Adoption of New Codification Standards](https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/SC_INS_B_2000-13.md) --- Source: Frix Law Library, https://www.frixlaw.com/law-library/statutes/SC_INS_B_2000-06.
