Supplement No. 4 to Circular Letter No. 9 (1988)

WITHDRAWN

TO: ALL PROPERTY/CASUALTY INSURANCE COMPANIES; CO-OPERATIVE FIRE INSURANCE COMPANIES; LLOYDS UNDERWRITERS AND RECIPROCAL INSURERS; FINANCIAL GUARANTY INSURANCE CORPORATIONS; AND THE MEDICAL MALPRACTICE INSURANCE ASSOCIATION

RE: PROPERTY/CASUALTY INSURANCE SECURITY FUND

Please be advised that determinations made on February 28, 1991, in accordance with the requirements of Sections 7603 and 7606 of the New York Insurance Law, indicate that the net value of the Property/Casualty Insurance Security Fund ("the Fund") as of December 31, 1990 continues to be less than $ 150 million. Accordingly, contributions to the Fund will continue.

On April 2, 1991 the New York State Court of Appeals rendered its decision in Alliance of American Insurers. et al., v. Chu. et al., finding that aspects of 1979 and 1982 legislation transferring certain earnings and assets of the Property/Casualty Insurance Security Fund to New York State's general fund were unconstitutional. The Court remitted the case to the Supreme Court, Albany County for further proceedings in accordance with the opinion. The Department has not decided at this date whether to appeal the decision.

Pursuant to regulations of the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation (7 CFR Part 400, subpart L), Multiple Peril Crop Insurance premiums on policies reinsured by the Federal Crop Insurance Corporation under its Standard Reinsurance Agreement continue to be exempt from contribution.

In view of the issue date of this Circular Letter, the late payment penalty provisions of Section 7614 will not be imposed on an insurer if payment of the first 1991 quarterly contribution is received on or before June 30, 1991.

Further supplements to the Circular Letter will be issued as the need arises.

Please acknowledge receipt of this Supplement, and refer any questions relating to its contents to:
