Kentucky Insurance Guaranty Ass'n v. Jeffers Ex Rel. Jeffers

Kentucky Supreme Court

Decided March 23, 2000No. 98-SC-0770-TGPublishedCited by 36 opinions

1Opinion of the Court

GRAVES, Justice.

The sole issue before this Court is whether a Legislative provision amending the Kentucky Insurance Guaranty Association Act, KRS 304.36-010 et. seq., to increase the amount of coverage from $100,-000 to $300,000 in cases involving insolvent insurance companies is limited only to those cases in which the insolvency occurred after the effective date of the amended statute, or applies retroactively to all unresolved cases. We affirm the declaratory judgment of the Jefferson Circuit Court which ruled the amendment was remedial and had retroactive application.
