§ LG.172.008. EXCESS LOSS COVERAGE AND REINSURANCE

EXCESS LOSS COVERAGE AND REINSURANCE. (a) A risk pool may purchase excess loss coverage or reinsurance to insure a pool against financial losses that the pool determines might place the solvency of the pool in financial jeopardy. (b) If a risk pool does not purchase excess loss coverage or reinsurance, the administrator shall give written notice to each person who applies for coverage from the pool that the pool does not maintain excess loss coverage or reinsurance. The administrator shall provide the notice before coverage is issued to an applicant and shall give the applicant the opportunity to decline the coverage. (c) If a risk pool cancels or does not renew excess loss coverage or reinsurance, the administrator shall give notice to each person covered by the pool that the coverage has been canceled or has not been renewed and shall give each an opportunity to cancel his coverage. The administrator must give the notice and opportunity to cancel coverage not later than the 30th day after the date on which the pool cancels or does not renew the excess loss coverage or reinsurance.
