Copy as parenthetical citation

Sec. 16. (a) Except for sales of stock or merchandise in the ordinary course of the seller's business, a seller who has deposited money or an insurance policy under section 12 or 12.5 of this chapter may not:

(1) sell, consolidate, merge, or dispose of assets; or

(2) lease the seller's business, facilities, or assets;

without providing, as an integral part of the transaction or occurrence, for the designation of a successor seller of the money or insurance policy placed in trust. For purposes of this section, a change in control determines the seller's obligation.

(b) If a seller acting as a trustee of an insurance policy fails to designate a qualified successor seller, the board shall make the designation. However, the designated successor must be willing to accept the designation.

(c) This section does not restrict a purchaser's right to designate a new seller in accordance with section 13 of this chapter.

As added by P.L.200-1991, SEC.1. Amended by P.L.241-1995, SEC.11; P.L.114-1999, SEC.13.
