§47-7-601.1.
   
   A. Every carrier, upon issuing an owner's policy, a renewal thereof,
   or a binder, shall supply a security verification form in duplicate to
   an owner for each insured vehicle on a form approved by the Insurance
   Commissioner.
   
   1. The owner's security verification form shall contain the following
   minimum information:
   
   a. the name and address of the carrier,
   
   b. the name and address of the agent or office where the existence of
   security may be verified, if other than the carrier,
   
   c. the name of the named insured,
   
   d. a notice that an owner's liability insurance policy has been issued
   pursuant to the Compulsory Insurance Law of this state,
   
   e. the year of manufacture, make and at least the last three (3)
   digits of the vehicle identification number of each insured motor
   vehicle,
   
   f. the inclusive dates the motor vehicle liability insurance is in
   effect, and
   
   g. a warning to the owner that state law:
   
   (1) requires a current copy of the owner's security verification form
   must be surrendered to the motor license agent or other registering
   agency upon application or renewal for a motor vehicle license plate,
   
   (2) requires the other copy of the owner's security verification form
   to be carried in the motor vehicle at all times, and produced by any
   driver of the vehicle upon request for inspection by any peace officer
   or representative of the Department of Public Safety. In case of a
   collision, the security verification form shall be shown upon request
   of any person affected by the collision.
   
   The security verification form shall not include the address of the
   named insured.
   
   2. The owner's security verification form shall contain the following
   statement: "Examine policy exclusions carefully. This form does not
   constitute any part of your insurance policy."
   
   3. When a carrier issues an owner's policy providing blanket liability
   coverage for a fleet of motor vehicles, the year of manufacture, make
   and at least the last three (3) digits of the vehicle identification
   number specified in subparagraph e of paragraph 1 of this subsection
   may be deleted. The security verification form shall bear the term
   "Fleet Coverage" and otherwise meet the provisions of Section 7-600 et
   seq. of this title.
   
   4. In the event the effective dates within an owner's policy exceed
   one (1) year, the carrier shall furnish the owner a copy of the
   owner's security verification form at least annually in addition to
   the time of issuance or renewal in order for the owner to submit such
   copy for motor vehicle registration purposes.
   
   5. In the event an owner's policy also provides liability coverage
   which meets the requirements of an operator's policy, the carrier may
   also issue to each person entitled thereto an operator's security
   verification form as provided in this section.
   
   B. Every carrier, upon issuing an operator's policy, a renewal
   thereof, or a binder, may issue to the insured person a written
   operator's security verification form of a size which may conveniently
   be carried upon the person, containing the following minimum
   information:
   
   1. The name and address of the carrier;
   
   2. The name and address of the person or office where an inquiry may
   be made to verify the existence of security;
   
   3. The name of the named insured;
   
   4. A notice that in accordance with the Compulsory Insurance Law of
   this state, liability coverage has been issued for the named insured;
   
   5. A statement reflecting the form may be carried in lieu of an
   owner's form pursuant to the Compulsory Insurance Law while operating
   a motor vehicle. Such form shall be produced upon request of any peace
   officer or representative of the Department of Public Safety. In case
   of a collision, the form shall be shown upon request of a person
   affected by a collision with a vehicle operated by the insured; and
   
   6. The inclusive dates of liability coverage.
   
   C. A carrier may provide any additional information consistent with
   the Compulsory Insurance Law of this state in an owner's or operator's
   security verification form, but shall not be required to list the
   actual amounts of liability coverage thereon. The security
   verification form shall not constitute nor be construed as any part of
   an insurance policy, renewal or binder.
