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. History: Laws 1998, ch. 115, § 8.
