§ 8-45-112. Amendment of rates - distribution to policyholders.
The board may amend at any time the rates for any class. No contract of insurance between Pinnacol Assurance and any employer shall be in effect until a policy or binder has been actually issued by the board and the premium therefor paid as and when required by this article. Not less often than once a year the chief executive officer shall tabulate the earned premiums paid by policyholders of Pinnacol Assurance. Should the experience of the Pinnacol Assurance fund show a credit balance and after payment of all amounts that have fallen due because of operating expenses, injury, or death, and after setting aside proper reserves, the board shall distribute such credit balance to the policyholders who have a balance to their credit in proportion to the premium paid and losses incurred by each such policyholder during the preceding insurance period. In the event any such policyholder fails to renew a policy with Pinnacol Assurance for the period following the period in which said dividends were earned, said policyholder shall be entitled to said credit dividend if such policy is terminated in good standing. In the event an employer actually discontinues business, said employer's policy shall be canceled, and the dividend, if any, when ascertained, shall be returned to the employer.
