Cite as 19 Miss. Admin. Code Pt. 1, R. 6.01
We have noted from the newspapers that automobile dealers continue to advertise free insurance
in connection with the sale of automobiles. As you are aware, there is no such thing as free
insurance in Mississippi and any advertising to the contrary is misleading and a violation of the
statute.
It will be appreciated if you will bulletin each of your dealer-agents in Mississippi and instruct
them that the next such advertisement appearing in any publication or advertised over the radio
or television will result in a hearing for the purpose of revocation of such dealer’s license as an
insurance agent.
In the event a countersigning agent is used and no licensed agent is listed in the dealership, any
insurance company through which insurance is written under such an advertisement will be held
strictly accountable for the acceptance of such business.
