Section 23-90-114 - Accounting for and repayment of assessments(a)(1) Upon receipt from an insurer of payment of an assessment or partial assessment, the receiver shall provide the insurer with a participation receipt which shall create a liability against the assessment fund maintained by the Insurance Commissioner.(2) The assessment fund from which an advance is made to an insolvent insurer for the payment of covered claims shall be regarded as a general creditor of the insolvent insurer for the amount of funds so advanced, provided that, with reference to the remaining balance of any advances received by the receiver and not expended in payment of covered claims, the claim of the assessment fund shall have preference over other general creditors.(3) The receiver of any insolvent insurer shall adopt accounting procedures reflecting the expenditure and use of all funds received from the assessment fund and shall make a final report of the expenditure and use of these funds to the commissioner. This final report shall set forth the remaining balance, if any, from the moneys advanced from the assessment fund.(4) The receiver shall also make any interim reports concerning the accounting and that may be required by the commissioner.(5) Upon completion of the final report and as soon after completion as is practicable, the receiver shall refund the remaining balance of the advances to the assessment fund.(b) Should the commissioner at any time determine that there exist moneys in the assessment fund in excess of those reasonably necessary for efficient future operation under the terms of this chapter, the commissioner shall cause the excess moneys to be returned pro rata to the holders of any participation receipts on which there is a balance outstanding after deducting any credits taken against premium taxes as authorized in § 23-90-119. If after a distribution the commissioner finds that an excess amount still exists in the fund or if there are no participation receipts on which there is an outstanding balance, the commissioner shall cause the excess amount to be deposited with the Treasurer of State for credit to the General Revenue Fund Account of the State Apportionment Fund of this state.Acts 1977, No. 871, § 9; A.S.A. 1947, § 66-5509.
