59A-16C-8: Warning required.

Within six months of the effective date of the Insurance Fraud Act all claim forms and applications for insurance shall contain a statement permanently affixed to the application or claim form which states substantially as follows:

"ANY PERSON WHO KNOWINGLY PRESENTS A FALSE OR FRAUDULENT CLAIM FOR PAYMENT OF A LOSS OR BENEFIT OR KNOWINGLY PRESENTS FALSE INFORMATION IN AN APPLICATION FOR INSURANCE IS GUILTY OF A CRIME AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO CIVIL FINES AND CRIMINAL PENALTIES."

The failure to include that statement shall not constitute a defense against prosecution for commission of insurance fraud.
