refunds, rate reductions, commissions, service fees. ---
If a dividend, premium refund, rate reduction,
commission, or service fee is received by any employer, labor
union, or association, under any and all group insurance policies
whenever issued and delivered in this state, with respect to which
the employer, labor union, or association is the policyholder, or
an affiliate or subsidiary of the policyholder, covering the
employees of one or more employers or the members of one or more
labor unions or associations, or any combination thereof, to which
such employees or members contribute to the cost of the premiums
for such insurance, the excess, if any, of the aggregate of such
dividends, premium refunds, rate reductions, commissions, and
service fees over the aggregate expenditure of such employer, labor
union, or association towards the cost of such insurance,
including its administration, for the current and preceding 2 years
to the extent that they were not defrayed by dividends, premium
refunds, rate reductions, commissions, and service fees, shall be
applied by the policyholder for the sole benefit of insured
employees or members on a basis which precludes individual
selection and unfair discrimination. If such dividend, premium
refund, rate reduction, commission, or service fee is received by
a trusteed fund, it shall be applied by the trustees for the sole
purposes of the trust.
