Legislation was passed to allow Alabama to join the Surplus Lines Insurance Multi-State
Compliance Compact (SLIMPACT). SLIMPACT does not yet have the ten member states
which are required to establish a clearinghouse. Until SLIMPACT is operational,
if Alabama is deemed the home state of a multi-state policy, 100% of the premium
is taxed at the 6% Alabama surplus lines tax rate and 100% of the surplus lines
tax should be remitted to Alabama.
