Sample questions & answers
1. Vermont's insurance laws are found primarily in:
Title 8 of the Vermont Statutes
Vermont insurance law is codified in Title 8 (Banking and Insurance), chapters 101-147. Title 23 holds motor vehicle law and Title 32 holds taxation, but the insurance code itself is Title 8.
2. Day-to-day regulation of Vermont insurers is carried out under the direction of the:
Commissioner of Financial Regulation
The Department of Financial Regulation, which supervises insurers and agents, is administered by the Commissioner of Financial Regulation, appointed by the Governor with the advice and consent of the Senate.
3. A large Vermont manufacturer that forms its own insurer to cover its product liability risks has created a:
Captive insurance company
A pure captive insures the risks of its parent and affiliated companies (or controlled unaffiliated business). Vermont regulates captives under 8 V.S.A. chapter 141.
4. Under Vermont's captive insurance law, which coverage may a captive insurance company NOT provide?
Personal auto or homeowners coverage
8 V.S.A. § 6002 bars every captive insurance company from providing personal motor vehicle or homeowner's coverage or any component of it. Captives may insure their parent's and affiliates' commercial risks, and the same section expressly permits excess workers compensation.
