17:30E-8.1. Insufficient resources

a. Beginning January 1, 1989 and annually thereafter, the commissioner shall determine whether the income of the association as provided for in paragraphs (1), (2), (3), and (5) of section 20 of P.L. 1983, c. 65 (C. 17:30E-8), and the residual market equalization charge levied pursuant to paragraph (4) of that section prior to the effective date of this 1988 amendatory and supplementary act is or will be sufficient to meet its obligations in the ensuing year. If the commissioner determines that the association has insufficient resources to meet its obligations, he shall request the board of the association to formulate a plan for the payment of no less than 50% of the aggregate residual bodily injury losses for which the association is to make payment during the ensuing 12 month period, which plan shall provide for the payment of these losses in no more than four annual installments. The board shall submit the plan to the commissioner for his approval. Interest on the balance of the unpaid claim shall be paid at the rate established by subsection (a) of R.S. 31:1-1 for loans in which there is no written contract.

b. In addition to the plan provided for in subsection a. of this section, the commissioner may also request the submission of a plan by the board for the deferral, for a period not to exceed 12 months, of payments by the association of property damage claims which are subject to subrogation.

c. No residual market equalization charge in excess of the charge levied prior to the effective date of this 1988 amendatory and supplementary act shall be approved by the commissioner unless the procedures established pursuant to subsection a. or b. of this section do not provide sufficient revenue for the association to pay its obligations.
