Commercial fishers can pool for insurance
The law exempts some fishing co-ops from state insurance rules. It applies when two or more people in commercial fishing sign a cooperative agreement and pool money to pay members’ claims. Covered claims include liability against a member’s fishing business, and loss or damage to a vessel or machine used in the business that a member owns or leases. These pooled payments are not regulated as insurance under this title.
