R.S. 22:768

Special reserve fund; title insurance ACTIVE

A. Each title insurer shall annually apportion to a special reserve fund an amount determined by applying the rate of twenty-five cents for each one thousand dollars of net increase of insurance it has in force at the end of such year. Such apportionment shall be continued or resumed as needed to maintain the special reserve fund at an amount equal to not less than the guaranty fund deposit required of the insurer.

B. The special reserve fund shall be held by the insurer as additional guaranty fund, and shall be used only for the payment of losses after the insurer's liquid resources available for the payment of losses, other than such special reserve fund or the guaranty fund deposit, have been exhausted.

C. For the purposes of computing the special reserve fund as provided in this Section, net increases of insurance in force resulting from reinsurance of the risks of another title insurer shall not be included to the extent that a like special reserve fund on such insurance is maintained by the ceding insurer.
