The Commission may act as a receiver at the request of a compacting state when grounds for receivership exist.
The powers of the Commission are specified, including acting as deputy receiver, monitoring guarantee associations, bringing legal proceedings, purchasing insurance and bonds, enforcing compliance with rules and providing for dispute resolution. Each compacting state shall have one member on the Commission, entitled to one vote each. The Commission shall retain an executive director who shall hire a staff. Additional provisions concern immunity, indemnification, meetings, records, rulemaking, oversight and dispute resolution and receivership functions.
The Commission shall assess each compacting state and its
insurers. Seventy-five percent of the costs are allocated to
insurers, and twenty-five percent are allocated to the states.
