"Camper" means any person or his parent, guardian or other person who pays or becomes obligated to pay the tuition or fee required for registration or attendance at the camp.
(3) "Tuition refund insurance" means any policy which, because of a student's or camper's absence from, or inability to register at or attend, an institution or camp, as the case may be, provides for the indemnification of the student or camper for his loss of tuition or fee, or if he has been previously indemnified therefor by the institution or camp, for its reimbursement.

The commissioner may, after notice and hearing, promulgate such reasonable rules and regulations, relating to the substance, form and issuance of such policies, as are necessary or desirable to preserve, insofar as applicable, standards as respects substance, form and issuance comparable to the standards in such respects prescribed by this chapter and applicable to disability policies, and to further the purpose or purposes for which such policies are to be issued.
(d) Tuition refund insurance may be issued only to an institution or camp which does not have a similar policy in effect, but its cost may be borne by the student or camper, as the case may be, in which event he may, upon request, obtain from the insurer a copy of the policy.
