Use of redesigned forms for municipal liability reports

Issued and entered June 23, 1988 by Herman W. Coleman, Commissioner of Insurance

In accordance with Sections 2477A, B, and C of the Insurance Code of 1956, as amended by Public Act 173 of 1986, all insurers providing municipal liability coverage are required to report specific claims information to the Michigan Commissioner of Insurance.

Public Act 173 of 1986 amended Sections 2477A, B, and C of the Code to require that each insurer providing municipal liability insurance, every person other than an insurer who pays or has assumed liability to pay a municipal liability claim and every attorney who represents a plaintiff or defendant shall submit the data prescribed. Therefore, the Insurance Bureau has developed a new form to facilitate compliance with the reporting requirements of Sections 2477A, B, and C of the Code. These forms are to be completed and submitted within thirty days after filing or closure of a claim. These forms are not supplied by the Insurance Bureau and must be reproduced by your office.

Public Act 173 also eliminated the requirement that products liability claim information be reported to the Bureau. Therefore, it is no longer necessary to submit products liability claim reports.

This bulletin supersedes Bulletin 79-5, issued on April 17, 1979. Form 790501 and 790502 have been replaced by INS 950.
