15         On page 4, between lines 12 and 13,

16

17  insert:

18         (4)  REIMBURSEMENT CONTRACTS.--

19         (c)1.  The contract shall also provide that the

20  obligation of the board with respect to all contracts covering

21  a particular contract year shall not exceed the actual

22  claims-paying capacity of the fund up to a limit of $15 $11

23  billion as determined by unanimous vote of the board on or

24  before November 1 for the that contract year beginning June 1

25  of the next calendar year, unless the board determines that

26  there is sufficient estimated claims-paying capacity to

27  provide $15 $11 billion of capacity for the current contract

28  year and an additional $15 $11 billion of capacity for

29  subsequent contract years.  Upon such determination being

30  made, the estimated claims-paying capacity for the current

31  contract year shall be determined by adding to the $15 $11

                                  1

                                                   HOUSE AMENDMENT

    hbd-032                                       Bill No. HB 2021

    Amendment No. ___ (for drafter's use only)





  1  billion limit one-half of the fund's estimated claims-paying

  2  capacity in excess of $30 $22 billion. If the board does not

  3  take action regarding the determination of the limit of

  4  claims-paying capacity on or before November 1 for the

  5  contract year beginning June 1 of the next calendar year, the

  6  actual claims-paying capacity will not exceed the limit

  7  established for the prior contract year.

  8         2.  The board shall have the authority to increase or

  9  decrease the aggregate industry retention as established in

10  paragraph (2)(e) by up to $200 million as determined by

11  unanimous vote of the board on or before November 1 for the

12  contract year beginning June 1 of the next calendar year.

13         3.2.  The contract shall require the board to annually

14  notify insurers of the fund's estimated borrowing capacity for

15  the next contract year, the projected year-end balance of the

16  fund, and the insurer's estimated share of total reimbursement

17  premium to be paid to the fund.  For all regulatory and

18  reinsurance purposes, an insurer may calculate its projected

19  payout from the fund as its share of the total fund premium

20  for the current contract year multiplied by the sum of the

21  projected year-end fund balance and the estimated borrowing

22  capacity for that contract year as reported under this

23  paragraph. In May and October of each year, the board shall

24  publish in the Florida Administrative Weekly a statement of

25  the fund's estimated borrowing capacity and the projected

26  year-end balance of the fund for the current contract year.
