Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 22, § 1334. Homeowners insurance policies; conversion of policy forms

A. With the approval of the commissioner of insurance an insurer may convert an entire class of homeowner policies to another homeowner policy form, which has been submitted to and approved by the commissioner, as those homeowners policies are renewed. The terms and conditions of such policies, subject to the conversion, shall be continued in full force and effect for the term of the policy. The conversion provided for in this Section shall not constitute the cancellation or nonrenewal of any policy and shall not be grounds for the cancellation or nonrenewal of any policy by the insurer.

B. A conversion by an insurer shall be deemed approved by the commissioner unless disapproved within forty-five days of the filing of the proposed conversion with the commissioner.

C. All homeowner insurance policies, which have been properly filed and converted pursuant to this Section and the conversion of which will result in a rate change, shall be subject to the laws governing rate changes under Subpart O of Part IV of Chapter 4 of this Title, R.S. 22:1451 et seq.
