(a) In lieu of subdivisions (b), (c), (d), (e), and (f) of Section 22314, with respect to open-end loans, a licensee may provide credit insurance with the borrower’s consent, in a form to be approved by the Insurance Commissioner, in an amount not in excess of the amount of the indebtedness. For credit life or disability insurance, the licensee may collect from the borrower an amount established pursuant to Section 779.36 of the Insurance Code.
(b) If life insurance is provided, and if the insured borrower dies during the term of the loan contract, the insurance shall be sufficient to pay the total amount due on the loan outstanding on the date of his or her death, without any exception, reservation, or limitation.
(c) If disability insurance is provided, and if the insured borrower becomes disabled during the term of the loan contract, the insurance shall be sufficient to pay all amounts attributable to the loan balance at the time of commencement of disability that subsequently become due on the loan thereafter during the period of disability, in accordance with subdivision (d) of Section 22315, without any exception, reservation, or limitation.
(d) If loss-of-income insurance is provided, and if the insured borrower becomes unemployed during the term of the loan contract, the insurance shall be sufficient to pay all amounts attributable to the loan balance at the time of commencement of unemployment in accordance with subdivision (d) of Section 22321 without any exception, reservation, or limitation.
(e) Any credit insurance that is provided shall be in force as soon as the loan is made or coverage is agreed upon, whichever is later. No credit insurance written in connection with an open-end loan shall be canceled by the lender because of delinquency of the borrower in the making of the minimum payments thereon unless one or more of the payments is past due for a period of 90 days or more, and the lender shall advance to the insurer the amounts required to keep the insurance in force during that period, which amounts may be debited to the borrower’s account.
This section does not apply to any open-end loan of a bona fide principal amount of ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or more as determined in accordance with Section 22467.
