Section 80-10-9-.28 - Financial Responsibility For Insurance Coverage

(1) Before a permit is issued or reissued to engage in the category of control of Wood-Destroying Organisms, as described by Rule 80-10-9-.04(1); Industrial Institutional and Household Pest Control, as described by Rule 80-10-9-.04(2); and Fumigation Pest Control, as described by Rule 80-10-9-.04(3), each applicant shall be required to secure insurance coverage with an insurance company qualified to do business in Alabama. Proof of insurance must be furnished on a form provided by the Commissioner. The insurance shall insure against liability for damage to persons or property occurring as a result of applicant's work or service to premises or any other property under applicant's care, custody, or control. The minimum insurance coverage shall not be less than $150,000.00. In addition, those applicants permitted to engage in Control of Wood-Destroying Organisms shall have insurance to include errors and omissions on the Official Alabama Wood Infestation Inspection Report, as defined by Rule No. 80-10-9-.02(24), and damages caused by wood-destroying organisms. The minimum insurance coverage for errors and omissions shall not be less than $100,000.00.

(2) This rule shall take effect and be in force from and after January 1, 2002, provided, however, that any insurance policy issued before the effective date shall be sufficient for permitting purposes until the expiration or anniversary date for such insurance policy. In no event, however, shall the aforementioned grace period for insufficient insurance coverage exceed twelve (12) months from the effective date.
