In every case, the agent must charge the proper pro rata or short rate premium for the period of risk.Section 2.(1) When a policy is issued in the same company, the date of commencement of the policy must be the same as the binder unless a pro rata earned premium is charged for the period of the binder.(2) Binders in effect less than fifteen (15) days, however, may be cancelled flat as "not taken" without premium charge, subject to the approval of the company; provided the cancelled binder is received by the insuring company within fifteen (15) days of its effective date.Section 3. This administrative regulation does not apply to business being audited by the office of insurance services and successor agencies, as the subject is covered in its filed and approved rule book. On lines not being audited by said office, every binder shall be handled in accordance with this administrative regulation.I-14.10; 1 Ky.R. 866; eff. 5-14-75; TAm eff. 8-9-2007; Crt eff. 2-26-2020.STATUTORY AUTHORITY: KRS 304.2-110
