24.9.1305    JURISDICTION AND APPLICABILITY DATE

(1) Section 49-2-309 , MCA, and this sub-chapter are applicable to all insurance policies, plans, and coverages and pension or retirement plans, programs or coverages subject to the laws of Montana and issued or entered into on or after October 1, 1985.

(2) Any term, payment, or benefit of an insurance policy, plan, or coverage or pension or retirement plan, program or coverage in effect prior to October 1, 1985, may be exercised in accordance with the terms of that policy, plan, program, or coverage. Options to increase or decrease coverage, annual rate adjustments and settlement options in life insurance policies are examples of terms which if included in a policy, plan, program or coverage in effect prior to October 1, 1985, may be exercised without regard to 49-2-309 , MCA or these rules.

(3) In determining if a policy, plan, program, or coverage was in effect prior to October 1, 1985, the primary consideration will be whether a new contract is formed on or after October 1, 1985, or whether a pre-October 1 contract is continued after that date.

(4) Section 49-2-309 ; MCA, and these rules, are applicable to any agreement whereby an insurer and an insured agree to an extension or continuation of a pre-October 1, 1985 insurance policy, plan, or coverage or pension or retirement plan, program, or coverage when no consideration was given in the pre-October 1, contract for the right to extend or continue upon the same terms. The fact that the contract formed by extension or continuation is identical to the pre-October 1, 1985 contract is not material if no consideration for the right to extend or continue the pre-October 1 terms was given.

(5) Section 49-2-309 , MCA, and these rules do not apply to any insurance policy, plan, or coverage or pension or retirement plan, program or coverage issued to or provided to a person who resided in a state other than Montana at the time the policy, plan, program or coverage became effective.
