§ 463.153. AMOUNT OF ASSESSMENTS. (a) The board shall determine the amount of a Class A assessment for each account under Section 463.105, considering with respect to member insurers one or more of the following as shown by annual statements for the year preceding the date of the assessment: (1) annual premium receipts; (2) admitted assets; or (3) insurance in force. (b) Class B assessments against a member insurer for each account under Section 463.105 shall be made in the proportion that premiums received on all business by the insurer on policies covered by each account bear to the premiums received on all business by all assessed member insurers. The amount of a Class B assessment shall be divided among the separate accounts in the proportion that the premiums on the policies covered by each account were received by the impaired or insolvent insurer from all covered policies during the year preceding the date of the impairment, as shown in the annual statements for the year preceding the date of the assessment. (c) The total amount of assessments on a member insurer for each account under Section 463.105 may not exceed one percent of the insurer's premiums on the policies covered by the account in a single calendar year. If the maximum assessment and the other assets of the association do not provide in a year an amount sufficient to carry out the association's responsibilities, the association shall make necessary additional assessments as soon as this chapter permits. Added by Acts 2005, 79th Leg., ch. 727, § 1, eff. April 1, 2007.
