La. Stat. tit. 22 § 904

Current with changes from the 2024 Legislative Session
Section 22:904 - Ante-dating of life insurance policies prohibited

No insurer shall knowingly deliver or issue for delivery in this state any policy or contract of life insurance which purports to be issued or to take effect as of a date more than six months before the application was made, if the premium on such policy or contract is reduced below the premium which would be payable thereon as determined by the nearest birthday of the insured at the time when such application was made. No producer or other representative of an insurer shall in this state prepare, submit, or accept any application for life insurance which bears a date earlier than the date when such application was made by the insured or applicant, if thereby the premium on such policy is reduced as stated in this Section. Nothing contained in this Section shall invalidate any contract made in violation of this Section. This Section shall not be construed to prohibit the exchange, alteration, or conversion of policies of life insurance as of the original date of such policies if the amount of insurance provided under the new policy does not exceed the amount of insurance under the original policy or the amount of insurance which the premium paid for the original policy would have purchased if the new policy had been originally applied for, whichever is greater, nor to prohibit the exercise of any conversion privilege contained in any policy or contract.
