Text

1.If contributions to the fund do not produce sufficient funds to pay any claims which may be due, the board shall assess and each member, including any member who has withdrawn but was a member in the year in which the assessment is required, shall pay such additional amounts which are each member's proportionate share of total claims allowed and due. The board may abate or defer any part of the additional assessment of a member, if, in the opinion of the board, payment of the additional assessment would impair the ability of the member to fulfill its contractual obligations. The provisions of this subsection shall apply retroactively to the creation of the Missouri public entity risk management fund.
