1978 Comp., § 59A-33-9.1, enacted by Laws 1990 (2nd S.S.), ch. 2, § 102.

A. Failure or refusal by any rejected risk to make full disclosure to the pool, servicing carrier or insurer writing a policy of information concerning the policyholder's true ownership, change of ownership, operations or payroll or any other failure to disclose fully any records pertaining to workers' compensation insurance, shall be sufficient grounds for the pool to terminate the insurance of the policyholder as one not in good faith.

B. Incurred experience shall be used in future ratings regardless of a change in ownership, control, management or operations, and leasing companies shall adopt the incurred experience of the insured, so that no employer shall evade the burdens imposed by an unfavorable or high-cost experience.
