Sec. 32-67. Claims. Premiums. - Connecticut Statutes

      Sec. 32-67. Claims. Premiums. Any contract of insurance made by the authority under the authorization of this chapter shall provide that claims payable under such contract shall first be paid from any amounts readily available in the insurance fund before any amounts available from the bond authorization contained in section 32-68 are utilized for claim payment. The faith and credit of the state is hereby pledged, pursuant to said bond authorization and in accordance with section 3-20, to provide to the insurance fund up to a maximum of ten million dollars as and when necessary to make timely payments of all amounts required to be paid under the terms of any insurance contract executed by the authority pursuant to this chapter. The aggregate outstanding principal balance of all loans insured, to the extent insured, under this chapter shall not exceed ten times the amount of bonds authorized in section 32-68. The obligation of the authority to make payments under any such insurance contract shall be limited solely to such sources and shall not constitute a debt or liability of the authority or the state. Any insurance contract and any rule or regulation of the authority implementing the insurance program may contain such other terms, provisions or conditions as the authority deems necessary or appropriate, including, without limitation, those relating to the payment of insurance premiums, the giving of notice, claim procedures, the sources of payment for claims, the priority of competing claims for payment, the release or termination of loan security and borrower liability, the timing of payment, the maintenance and disposition of industrial projects and the use of amounts received during periods of loan delinquency or upon default, and any other provision concerning the rights of insured parties or conditions to the payment of insurance claims. Any premiums for the insurance of loan payments under the provisions of this chapter may be determined on such basis, be payable by such person, in such amounts and at such times as the authority shall determine, and the amount of the premium need not be uniform among the various insurance contracts.
