Section 2606-A - Trustee groupsThe lives of a group of individuals may be insured under a policy issued to a trust or to the trustee or trustees of a fund established or adopted by 2 or more employers, or by one or more labor unions or similar employee organizations, or by one or more employers and one or more labor unions or similar employee organizations, which trust or trustees are considered the policyholder, to insure employees of the employers or members of the unions or organizations for the benefit of persons other than the employers or the unions or organizations, subject to the following requirements. [2011, c. 163, §2(AMD).]
1. The persons eligible for insurance are all of the employees of the employers or all of the members of the unions or organizations, or all of any class or classes thereof. The policy may provide that the term "employees" includes retired employees, the individual proprietor or partners if an employer is an individual proprietorship or a partnership, and directors of a corporate employer. The policy may provide that the term "employees" includes the trustees or their employees, or both, if their duties are principally connected with that trusteeship. [1981, c. 150, §7(NEW).]
2. The premium for the policy shall be paid from funds contributed by the employer or employers of the insured persons or by the union or unions or similar employee organizations, or by both, or from funds contributed by the insured persons or from both the insured persons and the employer or union or similar employee organization. Except as provided in subsection 3, a policy on which no part of the premium is to be derived from funds contributed by the insured persons specifically for their insurance must insure all eligible persons, except those who reject that coverage in writing. [1981, c. 150, §7(NEW).]
3. An insurer may exclude or limit the coverage on any person as to whom evidence of individual insurability is not satisfactory to the insurer. [1981, c. 150, §7(NEW).]
