18291.
(a) If credit life or disability insurance is provided pursuant to this division, and if the insured borrower dies or becomes disabled during the term of the loan contract, the insurance shall be sufficient to pay the total amount due on the loan (excluding unearned charges) outstanding on the date of death, or all amounts which become due on the loan thereafter during the period of disability, as the case may be, without any exception, reservation, or limitation, subject, however, to the provisions of Section 18292.
(b) Any credit life, disability, or loss-of-income
insurance as provided shall be in force as soon as the loan is made. An industrial loan company shall not require any of these coverages as a condition of making a loan.
