Alaska Statutes.

Title 37. Public Finance

Chapter 5. Fiscal Procedures Act

Section 289. State Insurance Catastrophe Reserve Account.

AS 37.05.289. State Insurance Catastrophe Reserve Account.

(a) There is established in the general fund a state insurance catastrophe reserve account consisting of assets appropriated to it by the legislature, assets allocated to the account by the Department of Administration as provided in this section, and amounts deposited into the account as provided in this section. Assets of the account may be used to obtain insurance, to establish reserves for the self-insurance program, and to satisfy claims or judgments arising under the program. Interest earned on money in the account shall be remitted to the Department of Revenue in accordance with AS 37.10.050 .

(b) The Department of Administration may allocate to the state insurance catastrophe reserve account, from the appropriations to all state agencies for insurance-related purposes, an amount that the commissioner of administration determines to be necessary to provide an adequate insurance program for the operations of state government. Money remaining in the account at the end of a fiscal year is not a one-year appropriation under AS 37.25.010 and does not lapse, except for amounts determined by the commissioner of administration to be unnecessary to maintain this account at an appropriate level and not to exceed $5,000,000. If the amount necessary to satisfy claims or judgments for which payment may be due under the state insurance program in a fiscal year exceeds the unexpended balance of the amounts allocated to the account, the department may charge an additional amount from the unencumbered balance of any appropriation that is determined by the commissioner of administration to be available for lapse at the end of the fiscal year.

(c) The $5,000,000 cap, set in (b) of this section, on money that may be retained in the state insurance catastrophe reserve account applies only to unobligated money in the account at the end of a fiscal year.

(d) Amounts received in settlement of insurance claims or as recovery for losses shall be deposited into the state insurance catastrophe reserve account.
