Universal Citation: NY Ins L § 7604 (2019)
§  7604. Public motor vehicle liability security fund. (a) The purpose
of the public motor vehicle liability security fund  is  to  secure  the
benefits  contemplated  by  section three hundred seventy of the vehicle
and traffic law in those cases where a policy of insurance or  corporate
surety  bond, therein described, of a solvent and responsible insurer is
accepted by the commissioner of motor vehicles as a compliance with such
section. The fund shall be used to pay allowed claims of injured parties
and policyholders under insurance policies or  surety  bonds,  remaining
unpaid,  in  whole  or in part, by reason of the insurer's insolvency or
its  inability  to  meet  its  insurance  obligations   (including   any
obligation for the return of unearned premiums) provided the insurer has
made payments to the fund as required by subsection (b) hereof.

(b) (1) Contributions to this fund shall be determined on the basis of net direct written premiums on insurance policies or surety bonds issued to meet the requirements of section three hundred seventy of the vehicle and traffic law.

(2) Every insurer issuing such policies or bonds, upon filing its quarterly return pursuant to section seven thousand six hundred five of this article, shall pay into the fund three percent of its net direct written premiums as shown for the period covered by such return.
