This amendment removes the General Fund appropriation to the Judicial Department of $31 ,006 in fiscal year 2003-
and $41,341 in fiscal year 2004-05. The Judicial Department, after negotiating a commitment from the 
Department of Corrections to minimize the extra work required by the Court in complying with this bill, has indicated 
it can absorb these costs. Doing that would mean the shifting of resources from nonchild related dockets to these 
higher priority cases, which would be accomplished in future court scheduling.

any 
claimant

this 
subsection. 
All 
claims 
under 
life 
insurance policies 
and 
annuity contracts,

proceeds, annuity proceeds or investment values, must be treated

not paid under 
subsection

An Act Concerning Liability Insurance Covering Debt Cancellation Contracts

An Act Concerning Liability Insurance Covering Debt Cancellation 
Contracts

Clerk 
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Maine as follows: 
Sec. 1. 24·A MRSA §2910·B is enacted to read: 
§2910-B. 
Liability insurance in connection with debt 
cancellation contracts 
An 
insurer 
may 
not offer, 
issue 
or 
renew 
a 
liability 
insurance policy in connection with debt cancellation contracts 
issued by financial institutions unless the debt cancellation 
contracts meet the requirements of chapter 37 and rules adopted 
pursuant to that chapter. 
SUMMARY 
Recently, 
some 
financial 
institutions 
have 
offered 
debt 
cancellation 
contracts 
to 
their 
borrowers. 
These 
contracts 
operate similarly to credit insurance, but the risk is taken by 
the bank rather than by an insurer. 
The State's laws relating to 
credi t insurance do not apply to these contracts. 
Some insurers 
market programs to financial institutions under which the bank 
issues debt cancellation contracts, but the insurer assumes the 
risk through a liability policy. 
This bill prohibits insurers 
from 
issuing 
such 
policies 
unless 
the 
underlying 
debt 
cancellation contracts meet the standards applicable to credit 
insurance.

to 
conform the statute to developments in case law since the initial

It has become clear, however, that 
the law in this area is insufficiently precise to be codified in 
statute. 
The rules provided for in the Maine Revised Statutes, 
Title 5, section 200-G, subsection 1 are a sufficient means to 
provide guidance to law enforcement officers in this area and are 
much easier to amend if case law developments warrant such a 
change.
