(6) "Underserved area(s)" means area(s) designated as underserved by the commissioner by rule.

Subject to the approval of the commissioner, the governing committee shall develop the plan of operation and propose amendments thereto.

FAIR Plan Association Sec. 4. Pursuant to procedures and requirements set forth in the plan of operation, the FAIR Plan Association (association) shall develop and administer a program for participation by all insurers licensed to write property insurance in this state and writing residential property insurance in this state. The association shall make residential property insurance available to applicants in underserved areas whose property is insurable in accordance with reasonable underwriting standards but who, after diligent efforts, are unable to procure such insurance through the voluntary market, as evidenced by two declinations from insurers licensed to write and actually writing residential property insurance in the state. Powers of the Association; Centralized Operations Authorized Sec. 5. (a) The association is authorized, for FAIR Plan purposes only, to issue policies of insurance and endorsements thereto in its own name or a trade name duly adopted for that purpose, and to act on behalf of all participating insurers in connection with said policies and otherwise in any manner necessary to accomplish the purposes of this Act, including but not limited to issuance of policies, collection of premiums, issuance of cancellations, and payment of commissions, losses, judgments, and expenses. (b) The participating insurers shall be liable to the association as provided in this Act and the plan of operation for the expenses and liabilities so incurred by the association, and the association shall make assessments against the participating insurers as required to meet such expenses and liabilities. In connection with any policy issued by the association: (1) service of any notice, proof of loss, legal process, or other communication with respect to the policy shall be made upon the association; and (2) any action by the insured constituting a claim under the policy shall be brought only against the association, and the association shall be the proper party for all purposes in any action brought under or in connection with any such policy. The foregoing requirements shall be set forth in any policy issued by the association and the form and content of any such policy shall be subject to the approval of the commissioner. (c) The association is authorized to assume and cede reinsurance in conformity with the plan of operation. (d) Each insurer must participate in the assessments of the association in the proportion that its net direct premiums written bear to the aggregate net direct premiums written by all insurers. Coverage for Windstorm and Hail Insurance; Coverage for Certain Property Located Over Water Sec. 5A. (a) A policy issued by the association may include coverage against loss or damage by windstorm or hail for: (1) a building or other structure that is built wholly or partially over water; and (2) the corporeal movable property contained in a building or structure described by Subdivision (1) of this subsection. (b) The association may impose appropriate limits of coverage and deductibles for coverage described by Subsection (a) of this section. (c) The governing committee of the association shall submit any proposed changes to the plan of operation necessary to implement Subsections (a) and (b) of this section to the commissioner for the approval of the commissioner in the manner provided by Section 3(a) of this article. (d) The commissioner shall adopt rules as necessary to implement this section, including any rules necessary to implement changes in the plan of operation proposed under Subsections (a) and (b) of this section. Property Inspection; FAIR Plan Procedure Sec. 6. (a) Any person having an insurable interest in real or tangible personal property at a fixed location in an underserved area who, after diligent effort has been unable to obtain residential property insurance, as evidenced by two current declinations from insurers licensed to write property insurance and actually writing residential property insurance in the state, is entitled upon application to the association to an inspection and evaluation of the property by representatives of the inspection bureau. (b) Applications may be made on behalf of the applicant by a licensed general lines property and casualty agent and shall be submitted on forms prescribed by the association. (c) Promptly after the request for inspection is received, an inspection must be made and an inspection report filed with the association and made available to the applicant upon request. (d) If the inspection bureau finds that the residential property meets the reasonable underwriting standards established in the plan of operation, the applicant shall be so informed in writing and a policy or binder shall be issued by the association. If the residential property does not meet the criteria, the applicant shall be informed, in writing, of the reasons for the failure of the residential property to meet the criteria. (e) If, at any time, the applicant makes improvements in the residential property or its condition which the applicant believes are sufficient to make the residential property meet the criteria, a representative of the inspection bureau shall reinspect the residential property upon request. In any case, the applicant for residential property insurance shall be eligible for one reinspection any time within 60 days after the initial FAIR Plan inspection. If upon reinspection the residential property meets the reasonable underwriting standards established in the plan of operation, the applicant shall be so informed in writing and a policy or binder shall be issued by the association. Approval of Rates Sec. 7. The association shall file with the commissioner for approval the proposed rates and supplemental rate information to be used in connection with the issuance of policies or endorsements. Rates shall be set in an amount sufficient to carry all claims to maturity and to meet the expenses incurred in the writing and servicing of the business. Within 60 days of the filing of the proposed rates, the commissioner shall enter an order either approving or disapproving, in whole or in part, the proposed rates. The commissioner may, upon notice to the association, extend the period for entering an order under this section an additional 30 days. No such policies or endorsements shall be issued until such time as the commissioner approves the rates to be applied to the policy or endorsement. An order disapproving a rate shall state the grounds for the disapproval and the findings in support thereof. Appeals; Judicial Review Sec. 8. (a) Any applicant or affected insurer has the right of appeal to the association. A decision of the association may be appealed to the commissioner within 30 days after such decision. (b) All orders or decisions of the commissioner made pursuant to this Act are subject to judicial review in accordance with Subchapter D, Chapter 36, of this code. Immunity from Liability Sec. 9. There is no liability on the part of, and no cause of action against insurers, the inspection bureau, the association, the governing committee, their agents or employees, or the commissioner or the commissioner's authorized representatives, with respect to any inspections required to be undertaken by this Act or for any acts or omissions in connection therewith, or for any statements made in any report and communication concerning the insurability of the property, or in the findings required by the provisions of this Act, or at the hearings conducted in connection with such inspections. Insolvency Sec. 10. In the event any participating insurer fails, by reason of insolvency, to pay any assessment, the association shall cause the reimbursement ratios to be immediately recalculated, excluding therefrom the amount of the insolvent insurer's assessment determined by the commissioner to be uncollectible, so that such uncollectible amount is, in effect, assumed and redistributed among the remaining participating insurers. Assessments and Premium Surcharges Sec. 11. Should a deficit occur in the association, the association, at the direction of the commissioner, shall either request the issuance of public securities as authorized by Article 21.49A-1 of this code or assess participating insurers in accordance with this section. As reimbursement for assessments paid under this section or service fees paid under Article 21.49A-1 of this code, each insurer may charge a premium surcharge 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 90 days after the date of assessment by the association under this section or commencing 90 days after payment of a service fee under Article 21.49A-1 of this code. The amount of the surcharge shall be calculated on the basis of a uniform percentage of the premium on such policies equal to one-third of the ratio of the amount of an insurer's assessment or service fee payment to the amount of its direct earned premiums as reported in its financial statement to the department 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 surcharges by an insurer shall be at least equal to the amount of the assessment or service fee payment of such insurer. The amount of any assessment paid and surcharged under this section may be carried by the member insurer as an admitted asset of the insurer for all purposes, including exhibition in annual statements under Section 862.001 of this code, until collected. The commissioner shall adopt rules and procedures as necessary to implement this section. Sanctions Sec. 12. If the association, inspection bureau, or participating insurer is found to be in violation of or in failure to comply with this Act, each entity shall be subject to the sanctions authorized in Chapter 82 of this code and administrative penalties authorized under Chapter 84 of this code. The commissioner may also utilize any other disciplinary procedures authorized by this code, including the cease and desist procedures authorized by Chapter 83 of this code. Annual Report Sec. 13. The association shall compile a calendar year annual operating report and submit such annual report to the commissioner on or before March 31 of the following calendar year. This annual report shall be a matter of public record. Powers of the Commissioner Sec. 14. (a) In addition to any powers conferred upon the commissioner by this or any other law, the commissioner is charged with the authority to supervise the association and the inspection bureau. In addition, the commissioner has the power: (1) to examine the operation of the association and the inspection bureau through free access to all the books, records, files, papers, and documents relating to their operation and may summon, qualify, and examine as witnesses all persons having knowledge of such operations, including the governing committee, officers, or employees thereof; (2) to do all things necessary to enable the State of Texas and the association to fully participate in any federal program of reinsurance which may be enacted for purposes similar to the purposes of this Act; (3) to require such reports from the association concerning risks insured by the association pursuant to this Act as may be deemed necessary; and (4) to adopt policy forms, endorsements, rates, and rating and rule manuals for use by the association. Retention of Profits Sec. 15. The association shall retain any profits of the association to be used for the purposes of the association. The profits of the association shall be used to mitigate losses, including the purchase of reinsurance and the offset of future assessments, and may not be distributed to insurers. Assets of Association Sec. 16. On dissolution of the association, all assets of the association shall be deposited in the general revenue fund. Added by Acts 1995, 74th Leg., ch. 415, Sec. 6, eff.
