A. The pool's efficient and self-sufficient operation is essential to the successful operation of the workers' compensation system in New Mexico. The effect of the pool's operation upon small employers is a particularly critical concern that merits continuing and close supervision by the state. The state should make all reasonable efforts to ensure that employers who are good risks, and particularly small employers who have established good safety records, are not penalized in the pool with higher than warranted workers' compensation premium charges. B. For the reasons set forth in this section, the superintendent shall continuously and closely monitor the performance of the pool, paying special attention to small employers. The superintendent shall report quarterly to the legislative finance committee on the status of the assigned risk pool. History: Laws 1990 (2nd S.S.), ch. 3, § 5. Compiler's notes. — This section was enacted as part of the "Assigned Risk Pool Law", but was assigned as part of the "Workers' Compensation Assigned Risk Pool Law" by the compiler.
