Bill Summary
AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 22:1598(A) and (B), relative to insurance; to provide with respect to referrals for sales and information on insurance products; to provide for compensation; and to provide for related matters.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Louisiana law, specifically R.S. 22:1598(A) and (B), to clarify rules around referring individuals to insurance sales. It expands the definition of who can make a referral to include not just individuals but also entities, and broadens the ways a referral can be made, such as by providing a telephone number, email address, website, or a direct introduction to an insurance seller, including their affiliates or partners. Crucially, the bill specifies that any compensation received by the referrer cannot be in the form of a sales commission and must not be based on whether the referred consumer ultimately buys insurance. This aims to ensure that referrals are not improperly incentivized by sales outcomes.
