Connecticut General Statutes Title 38A. Insurance § 38a-200. Incorporation. Representation of policyholders on board of directors

Persons desiring to form a hospital service corporation may incorporate under the general law of the state governing corporations, but subject to the following provisions: (1) The certificate of incorporation of each such corporation shall have endorsed thereon or attached thereto the consent of the Insurance Commissioner, if he finds the same to be in accordance with the provisions of sections 38a-199 to 38a-209, inclusive; and (2) said certificate shall include a statement of the territory in which the corporation will operate, the services to be rendered by the corporation and the rates currently to be charged therefor and shall be accompanied by two copies of the contract for services which the corporation proposes to make with subscribers and two copies of the type of contract which such corporation proposes to make with member hospitals. Such corporation shall include in its bylaws provision for the election of at least three of its policyholders to its board of directors by its members, and failure to include such a provision in such bylaws or to abide by such provision shall be grounds for disapproval by the Insurance Commissioner of any contract it may enter into during the period of such noncompliance.
