2006 House Bill 6228 / Public Act 359

Revise insurance company guaranty association provisions

Introduced in the House

June 20, 2006

Introduced by Rep. Leslie Mortimer (R-65)

To require that cases against an insolvent insurance company in an administrative tribunal, including a workers compensation insurance case, be stayed until a receiver is appointed to oversee the liquidation or reorganization process, and a state insurance guaranty association (the "insurer of insurers" that may have to assume certain obligations of the insolvent company) has time to mount a defense. The bill is part of package comprised of House Bills 6223 to 6235, which revise the state law governing the Michigan guaranty association.
