12382.2
. (a) Out of total charges for policies of title insurance,
a title insurer shall add to and set aside in its unearned premium
reserve commencing as of January 1, 1965, an amount equal to 2
percent of those total charges for policies of title insurance, which
amount shall be deemed and shall constitute the unearned premiums
due or received from all such policies or contracts. Except as
otherwise provided in Section 12382.6, if any policy of title
insurance shall be reinsured, the reinsuring company shall be
required to set aside in its unearned premium reserve only that
portion, if any, of that 2 percent as shall have not theretofore been
set aside by the ceding company. This subdivision shall apply to
policies issued and reinsured prior to January 1, 1988.
(b) Out of total charges for policies of title insurance, a title insurer shall add to and set aside in its unearned premium reserve, an amount equal to 2 1/2 percent of those total charges for policies of title insurance, which amount shall be deemed and shall constitute the unearned premiums due or received from all such policies or contracts. Except as otherwise provided in Section 12382.6, if any policy of title insurance shall be reinsured, the reinsurer shall be required to set aside in its unearned premium reserve only that portion, if any, of the 2 1/2 percent as shall have not theretofore been set aside by the ceding company. This subdivision shall apply to policies issued and reinsured on and after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1994.
(c) Out of total charges for policies of title insurance and, commencing no later than the year beginning January 1, 1994, a title insurer shall add to and set aside in its unearned premium reserve an amount equal to 4 1/2 percent of the sum of the following items, for all jurisdictions where the title insurer operates, set forth in the title insurer's annual statement filed in this state:
(1) "Direct premiums written" as set forth in Schedule T.
(2) "Other income" as set forth in Schedule T.
(3) "Premiums written during year--reinsurance assumed" less "Premiums for reinsurance ceded during year."
(d) The insurer shall calculate an adjusted unearned premium reserve as of December 31, 1993. The adjusted unearned premium reserve shall be calculated as if subdivision (c) of this section and subdivision (c) of Section 12382.5 had been in effect for all years beginning on or after January 1, 1974. For purposes of this calculation, the balance of the unearned premium reserve as of December 31, 1973, shall be deemed to be zero. If the adjusted unearned premium reserve so calculated exceeds the aggregate amount set aside for unearned premiums in the insurer's December 31, 1993, Annual Statement (Form 9), the insurer shall, out of total charges for policies of title insurance, increase its unearned premium reserve by an amount that is not less than one-sixth of that excess in each of the succeeding six years, commencing no later than the year beginning January 1, 1994, until the entire excess has been added.
(b) Out of total charges for policies of title insurance, a title insurer shall add to and set aside in its unearned premium reserve, an amount equal to 2 1/2 percent of those total charges for policies of title insurance, which amount shall be deemed and shall constitute the unearned premiums due or received from all such policies or contracts. Except as otherwise provided in Section 12382.6, if any policy of title insurance shall be reinsured, the reinsurer shall be required to set aside in its unearned premium reserve only that portion, if any, of the 2 1/2 percent as shall have not theretofore been set aside by the ceding company. This subdivision shall apply to policies issued and reinsured on and after January 1, 1988, and prior to January 1, 1994.
