(a) Any individual, partnership, corporation, or unincorporated association providing professional liability insurance coverage for its employees shall furnish each insured employee, upon cancellation or discontinuation of such professional liability insurance, notice of the cancellation or discontinuation of such insurance. Such notice shall be mailed or delivered to the insured employee not less than forty-five days next preceding the effective date of cancellation or discontinuation. This section shall apply to any such individual, partnership, corporation or unincorporated association which substitutes one policy providing such professional liability insurance coverage for another such policy with no interruption in coverage.
(b) If any individual, partnership, corporation, or unincorporated association fails to furnish notice pursuant to subsection (a) of this section, the individual or entity shall be liable for benefits to the same extent as the professional liability insurer would have been liable if coverage had not been cancelled or discontinued.
(c) For the purposes of this section, “professional liability insurance” shall be construed as defined in regulations adopted by the commissioner pursuant to subsection (b) of section 38a-393.
(P.A. 90-63; P.A. 91-406, S. 8, 29.)
History: P.A. 91-406 substituted “professional liability insurance” for “professional” in Subsec. (c).
