   (1)   Prepare, issue, request, or require the issuance of, a certificate of insurance that contains any false or misleading information concerning the policy of insurance to which the certificate of insurance makes reference; or
 
   (2)   Prepare, issue, request, or require the issuance of, a certificate of insurance that purports to affirmatively or negatively alter, amend, or extend the coverage provided by the policy of insurance to which the certificate of insurance makes reference.
 
   b.   A certificate of insurance shall not warrant that the policy of insurance referenced in the certificate complies with the insurance or indemnification requirements of a contract, and the inclusion of a contract number or description within a certificate of insurance shall not be interpreted as providing such a warranty.
