Idaho Statutes Title 41. Insurance § 41-1024. Reporting and accounting for premiums

(1) All fiduciary funds received or collected by a producer shall be trust funds received by the producer in a fiduciary capacity, and the producer shall, in the applicable regular course of business, account for and pay the same to the person entitled to the funds. The producer shall establish a separate account for funds belonging to others in order to avoid a commingling of such fiduciary funds with his own funds. The producer may deposit and commingle in such separate account all fiduciary funds so long as the amount of such deposit so held for all other persons is reasonably ascertainable from the records and accounts of the producer. A producer who duly collects and deposits funds into a sweep account maintained by or for the benefit of an applicable insurer shall not be deemed to be in violation of the fiduciary fund account requirement. The director may promulgate rules relating to accounting for and handling of fiduciary funds and the fiduciary fund account.

(2) Fiduciary funds shall include all funds collected by an insurance producer from or on behalf of a client or premium finance company that are to be paid to an insurance company, its agents, or the producer's employer, and all funds collected by an insurance producer from an insurance company or its agents that are to be paid to a policyholder or claimant under any contract of insurance.

(3) Any producer who, not being lawfully entitled thereto, diverts or appropriates to his own use such trust or fiduciary funds or any portion thereof, whether or not such funds have been separately deposited, shall upon conviction be guilty of a felony.
