| 11.__Assessments and premium surcharges.__If a deficit occurs |
in the association, the association shall assess participating |
insurers in accordance with this subsection and each insurer may |
charge a premium surcharge on every property insurance policy |
issued by it insuring property in this State, the effective date |
of which policy is within the 3-year period commencing 90 days |
after the date of assessment by the association.__The amount of |
the surcharge must be calculated on the basis of a uniform |
percentage of the premium on such policies equal to 1/3 of the |
ratio of the amount of an insurer's assessment to the amount of |
its direct earned premiums as reported in its financial statement |
to the bureau for the calendar year immediately preceding the |
year in which the assessment is made, such that over the period |
of 3 years the aggregate of all such surcharges by an insurer |
equals the amount of the assessment of such insurer.__The minimum |
surcharge on a policy is $1.__A surcharge may be rounded to the |
nearest dollar. |
