Over the past 5 years, PACE has offered a 5% General Liability Credit for members that completed certain requirements related to two exposures that have been hitting the Pool from a claim’s standpoint: Sex Abuse and Employment Practices Liability. With the success and the popularity of the 5% GL credit program, staff would like to introduce a new opportunity for our members to receive the credit for implementing mitigation tools for an up and coming exposure to the Insurance Program.
