There is created an account within the trust and agency fund in which all money received or collected to support the small employer carrier reinsurance program created pursuant to this act shall be credited and continuously appropriated for the purposes of this act.  All claims, insurer reimbursements, cost of administration and other necessary expenses incurred pursuant to this act shall be paid from the account.  All money in the account not immediately necessary for the purposes of this act, which amount is certified by the board to the state treasurer, shall be invested and any interest earned shall be credited to the account.

26-19-312.  Small employer carrier reinsurance program assessments; premium tax credit.

(a)  After each calendar year, the board shall determine the amount of assessment needed to support the small carrier reinsurance program considering all payments made, costs incurred, premiums received and other income received.

(b)  All insurers liable for premium tax shall be assessed as necessary to meet the requirements determined under subsection (a) of this section.  The assessment shall be in proportion to the gross premium tax owed and shall be expressed as a percentage of the gross premium tax owed.  The gross premium tax is the premium tax owed before any deduction for any assessments.  The assessment pursuant to this subsection for any individual insurer shall not exceed forty percent (40%) of the gross premium tax owed.

(c)  On or before May 1 of each year, the board shall determine each insurer's assessment for the calendar year.  Any deficit incurred by the program shall be recouped by assessment apportioned as provided by this section.  Notification of assessments shall be mailed by the board not later than May 1 of each year.

(d)  The total amount of assessment paid by any insurer pursuant to this section shall be allowed as a credit against any premium tax owed by the member under this code for the year for which the assessment is payable.  If assessments exceed the premium tax owed considering all assessments pursuant to this act and other acts, the credits may be carried forward to other tax years until used.

(e)  If assessments exceed actual losses and administrative expenses of the program, the excess shall be paid to the state treasurer, credited to the account created by W.S. 26-19-311 and used by the administrator to offset future losses or to reduce program premiums.  As used in this subsection, "future losses" includes reserves for incurred but unreported claims.

(f)  The board may require initial calendar year 2005 and interim assessments as reasonably necessary for the organizational, administrative and interim operating expenses of the program and to pay claims in excess of premiums collected.  Any initial or interim assessments shall be credited as offsets against any regular assessment due following the close of the calendar year.

(g)  Assessments collected pursuant to the small employer carrier reinsurance program shall be paid to the state treasurer and credited to the account created by W.S. 26-19-311.".
