27-1-29-15. Filing Notice of Intent to Become Member of Fund; Relinquishing Membership in Fund

Sec. 15. (a) A political subdivision may become a member of the fund by filing a written notice of its intent to become a member with the commission by the date exactly six (6) months before the expiration date of the liability insurance policy covering the political subdivision on December 31, 1986.
(b) Each political subdivision that files a notice of intent to become a member of the fund by the date set forth in subsection (a) shall be granted membership in the fund. A political subdivision that files a notice of intent to become a member after the date set forth in subsection (a) may be admitted to or rejected for membership in the fund at the discretion of the commission.
(c) A rule adopted by the commission to establish the procedures described in section 7(b)(4) of this chapter may not provide that a political subdivision continues to be a member of the fund more than twelve (12) months after the political subdivision gives notice to the commissioner of its intention to relinquish its membership.
(d) After relinquishing its membership in the fund, a political subdivision remains liable for its pro rata share of assessments to pay for liabilities of fund members that arose out of claims based upon acts or omissions that took place while the political subdivision was a member of the fund. If a political subdivision fails to pay an assessment to which it is subject under this chapter, the commission may give notice to any department or agency of the state (including the treasurer of state or the auditor of state) that is the custodian of money payable to the delinquent political subdivision after the date of the notice, that the political subdivision is in default on the payment of an assessment under this chapter. After receiving this notice, the department or agency shall withhold the delinquent amount from money payable to the political subdivision and pay over the money to the commission to be applied against the delinquent assessment.
As added by P.L.162-1986, SEC.1. Amended by P.L.273-1987, SEC.2; P.L.272-1987, SEC.5.
