§ 4a-9

The Board shall on behalf of the Commission review fully all initial applications to self-insure and all applications to renew employers' self-insurance privileges under this Act and the Workers' Occupational Diseases Act filed by private self-insurers and all related documentation filed in support of such applications, and all related documentation filed at any other time with the Commission. The Board shall advise the Chairman of the results of its review and shall recommend for approval by the Chairman the disposition of all such applications filed by private self-insurers. The Chairman shall promptly act upon all applications in full accordance with the recommendations of the Board or, if the Chairman does not concur with the recommendations of the Board he shall within 30 days of receipt of the recommendation of the Board advise the Board in writing of the reasons supporting his decision. The Board may also request that the Chairman of the Commission from time to time require private self insurers to file additional information related to a private self-insurer's ability to adequately secure payment of its financial obligations under such Acts. The Board may recommend to the Chairman of the Commission conditional approval of an application upon the furnishing of satisfactory evidence of appropriate and adequate security by the private self-insurer applying for self-insurer status to insure payment of its financial obligations under such Acts.
