Sec. 172.006. SUPERVISION AND ADMINISTRATION OF POOL. (a) A political subdivision or a group of political subdivisions that create a risk pool shall select trustees to supervise the operation of the pool.
(b) A pool may be administered by a staff employed by the pool, an entity created by the political subdivision or group of political subdivisions participating in the pool, a staff or entity that administers another pool established under this chapter, or a third party administrator.
(c) Before entering into a contract with a person to be a third party administrator of the pool, the trustees shall require that person to submit information necessary for the trustees to evaluate the background, experience, and financial qualifications and solvency of that person. The information submitted by a prospective administrator other than an insurance company must disclose:
(1) any ownership interest that the prospective administrator has in an insurance company, group hospital service corporation, health maintenance organization, or other provider of health care indemnity; and
(2) any commission or other benefit that the prospective administrator will receive for purchasing services or coverage for the pool.
(d) An attorney employed by a third party administrator, provider of excess loss coverage, or reinsurer may not be simultaneously employed by the pool unless, before the attorney is employed by the pool, the third party administrator, provider of excess loss coverage, reinsurer, or attorney discloses to the pool's board of trustees that the attorney is employed by the administrator, provider, or reinsurer.
(e) If the state enacts a law providing for the licensing or registration of third party administrators, a risk pool in contracting for administrative services may only contract for services of a third party administrator licensed or registered under that law. This subsection does not apply to a nonprofit corporation that is acting solely on behalf of the risk pool or other pools or administrative agencies established under The Interlocal Cooperation Act (Article 4413(32c), Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes).
