Section 304.35-030 - Requirements of plan and authority of association(1) The "FAIR" plan and articles of association shall make provision for a reinsurance association having authority on behalf of its members as their agent to cause to be issued property and casualty insurance policies, to reinsure in whole or in part any such policies, and to cede any such reinsurance. The plan and articles of association shall provide, among other things, for the lines of business to be written, policy forms to be used, perils to be covered, geographical area of coverage, compensation and commissions, assessments of members (which assessments annually shall not exceed one percent (1%) of any such member's net direct premium written on a voluntary basis in this state during the preceding year), participation in the writings, expenses, income, and losses in the proportion each member's property and casualty premiums written bear to the aggregate property and casualty premiums voluntarily written by all members, the administration of the plan and association, and any other matter necessary or convenient for the purpose of assuring fair access to insurance requirements.(2) If the commissioner, in the fulfillment of the duties imposed on him or her by KRS 304.13-041, determines that a reasonable degree of competition does not exist in the market for any lines of insurance, within the definitions of KRS 304.5-050 (property insurance) and KRS 304.5-070 (casualty insurance), or either of them, and issues an order to that effect, the commissioner shall order the governing committee to promptly amend the plan to include such line or lines of business unless, in the commissioner's opinion, an effective residual market mechanism as defined in KRS 304.13-011(8) is already then functioning to provide basic insurance requirements to worthy applicants for reasonable amounts of coverage under such line or lines of insurance with insurers licensed to do business in this state. For accounting and rate-making purposes, the commissioner may require the plan to provide for the establishment and maintenance of separate accounts for any line included in the plan pursuant to this section.Effective:7/15/2010
