1. Upon the filing and reading of the report and petition provided for in section 4382, the court,
ex parte, may order the superintendent to assess all members or subscribers of the insurer who may be
subject to such an assessment, in such an aggregate amount as the court finds reasonably necessary to
pay all valid claims as may be timely filed and proved in the delinquency proceedings, together with
the costs and expenses of levying and collecting assessments and the costs and expenses of the
delinquency proceedings in full. Any such order must require the superintendent to assess each such
member or subscriber for the member's or subscriber's proportion of the aggregate assessment,
according to such reasonable classification of such members or subscribers and formula as may be
made by the superintendent and approved by the court.
[RR 2021, c. 1, Pt. B, §377 (COR).]
2. The court may order additional assessments upon the filing and reading of any amendment or
supplement to the report and petition referred to in subsection 1, if such amendment or supplement is
filed within 3 years after the date of the entry of the order of rehabilitation or liquidation.
[PL 1969, c. 132, §1 (NEW).]
3. After the entry of the order to levy and assess members or subscribers of an insurer referred to
in subsections 1 and 2, the superintendent shall levy and assess members or subscribers in accordance
with the order.
[PL 1969, c. 132, §1 (NEW); PL 1973, c. 585, §12 (AMD).]
4. The total of all assessments against any member or subscriber with respect to any policy,
whether levied pursuant to any other provision of this Title, shall be for no greater amount than that
specified in the policy or policies of the member or subscriber and as limited under this Title, except as
to any policy which was issued at a rate of premium below the minimum rate lawfully permitted for
the risk insured, in which event the assessment against any such policyholder shall be upon the basis of
the minimum rate for such risk.
[PL 1969, c. 132, §1 (NEW).]
5. No assessment shall be levied against any member or subscriber with respect to any
nonassessable policy issued in accordance with this Title.
[PL 1969, c. 132, §1 (NEW).]
