Terms Used In South Carolina Code 38-85-60

  • Insurer: includes a corporation, fraternal organization, burial association, other association, partnership, society, order, individual, or aggregation of individuals engaging or proposing or attempting to engage as principals in any kind of insurance or surety business, including the exchanging of reciprocal or interinsurance contracts between individuals, partnerships, and corporations. See South Carolina Code 38-1-20
  • Premium: means payment given in consideration of a contract of insurance. See South Carolina Code 38-1-20
If an insurer charges debtors the same premium for the new coverage that they were paying for the old coverage, and, as a result, insured debtors of a financial institution are charged different premium rates for the same coverage, the rate differences do not constitute unfair discrimination under §§ 38-55-50 and 38-57-120, so long as all the applicable requirements of this chapter are met.
