No other financial security requirements or financial standards for warrantors shall be required.

(b) A warranty reimbursement insurance policy shall state that:—

(2) if the warrantor fails to perform under the terms of the warranty within 60 days of a request for payment or services, the warranty holder may seek payment or services directly from the insurer through the warrantor's warranty reimbursement insurance policy and the insurer shall make payment or provide services directly to the warranty holder on behalf of the warrantor.
