§1349. Excess insurance
A. An interlocal risk management agency shall maintain at all times a contract or
contracts of specific excess insurance or aggregate excess insurance in an amount as may be
stipulated or approved by the commissioner of insurance for any or all forms of insurance
risks, except as otherwise stated in this Section.
B. The agency shall provide statutory workers' compensation benefits and shall
maintain at all times a contract or contracts of specific excess of at least two million dollars
per occurrence and a contract or contracts of aggregate excess of at least two million dollars.
The effective date for such excess and aggregate amounts shall be the first day of the fund
year following the effective date of this bill.

rights or obligations with respect to his or its employees under the other provisions of this
Subpart.
D. An interlocal risk management agency shall maintain at all times a contract or
contracts of specific excess insurance of at least one million dollars and aggregate stop loss
insurance of at least one million dollars with respect to accident and health coverage claims.
E. An interlocal risk management agency may pool any excess funds, if any, after
payment of claims and cost of administration of a fund, as determined at the end of each fund
year, with excess funds of another fund, and use such pooled excess funds to establish a
special loss reserve fund for the purpose of reinsuring all or any part of the excess insurance
amounts otherwise required by Subsections A, B, and D of this Section. Such special loss
reserve fund shall not constitute doing insurance business or be deemed to constitute
insurance as defined by R.S. 22:46, nor shall be subject to the provisions of Chapter 1 of
Title 22 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950.
F. An interlocal risk management agency may, either in its own name or jointly with
another such interlocal risk management agency, use such pooled excess funds to form an
insurance company under the provisions of Title 22 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of
1950 for the purpose of reinsuring the risks of the interlocal risk management agency or
agencies whose pooled excess funds are so used.
