Create a new section of KRS Chapter 299 to establish procedures and authorization by the commissioner of insurance for the voluntary dissolution of certain companies transacting the business of insurance upon the cooperative or assessment plan; amend KRS 304.50-010 to prohibit the commissioner from authorizing additional workers' compensation self-insured groups on and after the effective date of the Act; amend KRS 342.350 to conform.

AI Summary

This bill establishes procedures for the voluntary dissolution of certain insurance companies operating on a cooperative or assessment plan, requiring a written dissolution plan approved by the company's board and policyholders, and ultimately by the Commissioner of Insurance, to ensure all obligations are met and assets are properly distributed. Additionally, the bill prohibits the Commissioner of Insurance from authorizing any new workers' compensation self-insured groups, which are entities where employers pool their liabilities for workers' compensation coverage, on or after the bill's effective date, while allowing existing authorized groups to continue operating.
