If the assets of a liability self-insurance group are at any time insufficient to enable
the group to discharge its legal liabilities, other obligations, and to maintain the
required reserves under this subtitle, the group shall immediately levy an assessment
upon its members for the amount necessary to make up the deficiency.
If there is a deficiency in any fund year, the deficiency shall be made up
immediately, from the following:
(a) Surplus from a fund year other than the current fund year after prior notice of
the transfer has been given to the commissioner;
(b) Administrative funds;
(c) Assessment of membership; or
(d) Alternate methods as the commissioner may direct or approve.
If a liability self-insurance group fails to assess its members within thirty (30) days
to make up a deficit, the commissioner shall order it to do so. This subsection shall
not apply to liability self-insurance groups formed by governmental entities which
do not have joint and several liability.
If a liability self-insurance group fails to make the required assessment of its
members within thirty (30) days after the commissioner orders it to do so, or if the
deficiency is not fully made up within sixty (60) days after the date on which the
assessment is made, or within a longer period of time as may be permitted by the
commissioner, the group shall be determined to be insolvent and may be placed in
delinquency proceedings as an insurer pursuant to Subtitle 33 of this chapter.
(a) Governmental entities that:
1.
Participate or have participated in a liability self-insurance group
authorized by this subtitle; and
2.
Are assessed by the liability self-insurance group to cover an accrued
deficit;
may finance the payment of the assessment over a period not to exceed twenty
(20) years.
(b) Financing obtained pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection may be
accomplished by:
1.
The issuance of bonds, notes, or other obligations; or
2.
A lease, installment payment agreement, or other similar agreement.
(c) If the governmental entity fails to make a scheduled payment on the financing
obtained pursuant to paragraph (a) of this subsection, any payments due to that
governmental entity shall be withheld or intercepted using the process
established in KRS 160.160(5).
Except as provided in subsection (5) of this section, all other provisions of the
Kentucky Revised Statutes applying to any financing obtained by a governmental
