Sec. 38a-896. (Formerly Sec. 38-114c). Assessment of insurers. (a) Whenever the secretary shall present to the state a request for reimbursement under the provisions of sections 38a-894 to 38a-898, inclusive, the fund shall immediately assess all insurers which, during the calendar year with respect to which reimbursement is requested by the secretary, are engaged in writing property insurance in this state.

(b) Within thirty days following the assessment by the fund, the participating insurers shall remit, in full, their share of the assessment to the fund and they shall be reimbursed in accordance with section 38a-897.

Sec. 38a-897. (Formerly Sec. 38-114d). Additional premium charged on property insurance. Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 38a-663 to 38a-696, inclusive, whenever the fund assesses insurers in accordance with sections 38a-894 to 38a-898, inclusive, each insurer shall charge an additional premium on every property insurance policy issued by it insuring property in this state the effective date of which policy is within the three-year period commencing ninety days after the date of assessment by the fund. The amount of the additional premium shall be calculated on the basis of a uniform percentage of the premiums on such policies equal to one-third of the ratio of the amount of an insurer's assessment to the amount of its direct earned premiums for the calendar year immediately preceding the year in which the assessment is made, such that over the period of three years the aggregate of all such additional premium charges by an insurer shall be equal to the amount of the assessment of such insurer. The minimum additional premium charge on a policy may be one dollar, and any other additional premium charge may be rounded to the nearest dollar. Any funds collected from these additional premium charges by an insurer, in excess of any assessment, shall be transmitted forthwith to the fund.

Sec. 38a-898. (Formerly Sec. 38-114e). Insolvency of insurer. If any insurer fails, by reason of insolvency, to pay any assessment, the fund shall cause the reimbursement ratios, computed under subsection (a) of section 38a-896, to be immediately recalculated, excluding therefrom the amount of the insolvent insurer's assessment determined by the Insurance Commissioner to be uncollectible, so that such uncollectible amount is, in effect, assumed and redistributed among the remaining insurers. In any such event, the remaining insurers shall increase the additional premium charges made under section 38a-897 proportionately such that over the remainder of the three-year period the aggregate of the increases of additional premium charges shall be equal to the uncollectible assessment so assumed and redistributed to the remaining insurers.
