[1987 c 185 § 25; 1951 c 229 § 1.]
Notes:
Reviser's note: For prior laws governing standard provision requirements for individual accident or health insurance policies see 1947 c 79 § § .20.01 through .20.33 and .20.37 and Rem. Supp. 1947 § § 45.20.01 through 45.20.33 and 45.20.37.
Many of the sections enacted in 1951 c 229 are in substance amendatory of sections previously appearing in chapter 48.20 RCW, although they appear in 1951 c 229 as new sections. To assist those using the code, the prior enactment on the same subject is shown in the history note following the new section wherever practical.
Intent -- Severability -- 1987 c 185: See notes following RCW 51.12.130.
