(a) As long as the Market Assistance Program has at least one (1) approved insurer, no residential earthquake coverage shall be issued by the Arkansas Earthquake Authority, except as provided in subsection (b) of this section.
(b) If there are no approved insurers in the program or if after notice and hearing, the Board of the Arkansas Earthquake Authority or the Insurance Commissioner finds that the program rates substantially exceed rates that could be offered by the authority, and the board or commissioner finds after a hearing that it is in the best interests of Arkansas citizens to issue coverage directly through the authority, and with the concurrence of the House Committee on Insurance and Commerce and the Senate Committee on Insurance and Commerce, if the General Assembly is in session, or the concurrence of the House Committee on Insurance and Commerce and the Senate Committee on Insurance and Commerce, if the General Assembly is not in session, the board shall proceed to offer coverage through the authority to potential insureds.
