How much notice must be given to the department if required insurance is cancelled or materially altered?
Each insurance policy must name the department as a certificate holder and contain language that the insurance company will give the department at least 10-days notice of cancellation or material change for any reason. §295.309(b). The certificate of insurance submitted to the department with an initial or renewal application must contain this language. In addition, the licensee is also obligated to give the department at least 20 calendar day’s advance written notice of a cancellation or material change to the policy. §295.309(d)(1). This requirement is so that if the insurance company fails to do so, the department will still get notice. The correct name and address of the department for providing insurance notice is: Environmental and Sanitation Licensing Group MC2835 Texas Department of State Health Services, P. O.
