Connecticut General Statutes Title 38A. Insurance § 38a-660b. Premium rates

(a) No surety bail bond agent shall execute a bail bond without charging the premium rate approved by the commissioner pursuant to chapter 701   1.

(b) Not later than the tenth day of each month, each surety bail bond agent shall certify to the commissioner under oath, on a form prescribed by the commissioner, that the premium for each surety bail bond executed by such agent in the preceding month was not less than, and did not exceed, the premium rate approved by the commissioner.  The filing of a false certification by a surety bail bond agent shall be grounds for administrative action in accordance with section 38a-774.

(d) Not later than January thirty-first, annually, each insurer shall file with the commissioner a statement certifying the total amount of bail bonds executed by such insurer and the total amount of premiums collected by such insurer on such bail bonds in the calendar year preceding.

(e) Nothing in this section shall be construed to prohibit or limit a premium financing arrangement that complies with section 38a-660c.
