An insurer or producer may conduct raffles or drawings to the extent permitted by state law as long as there is no financial cost to entrants to participate, the drawing or raffle does not obligate participants to purchase insurance, the prizes are not valued in excess of a reasonable amount as determined by the director, and the drawing or raffle is open to the public. The raffle or drawing must be offered in a manner that is not unfairly discriminatory. The consumer may not be required to purchase, continue to purchase, or renew a policy in exchange for the gift, item, or service.
