Indiana Code Title 27. Insurance § 27-1-12-17.1

Sec. 17.1. (a) As used in this section, “employee” includes a director, an officer, a partner, a manager, a nonmanagement employee, and a retired employee of the employer or the employer's affiliates.

(b) As used in this section, “employer” means an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a limited liability company, and any other legal entity that has at least one (1) employee and is legally doing business in Indiana.  The term includes an association of employers and the employer's affiliates.

(c) An employer that provides life insurance, health insurance, disability insurance, retirement benefits, or similar benefits to an employee of the employer has an insurable interest in the life of the employee.  The trustee of a trust established by an employer for the benefit of the employer has the same insurable interest as the employer in the life of an employee.  The trustee of a trust established by an employer that provides life insurance, health insurance, disability insurance, retirement benefits, or similar benefits to an employee of the employer and acts in a fiduciary capacity with respect to that employee or the employee's dependents or beneficiaries has an insurable interest in the life of the employee for whom benefits are to be provided.

(d) An employer or the trustee of a trust established by the employer may acquire insurance upon an employee in whom the employer or the trustee of the trust has an insurable interest as determined under subsection (c) if the employee consents to be insured.  An employee consents to be insured if the employee is provided written notice of the insurance coverage and does not object to the insurance coverage within thirty (30) days of receipt of the notice.

(e) An insurable interest must exist at the time the contract of life or disability insurance becomes effective, but need not exist at the time the loss occurs.

(f) Proceeds of a policy issued under this section are exempt from the claims of the employee's creditors or dependents.
