(a)  Within thirty (30) days after the date of default or insolvency of a qualified public depository, the state treasurer shall publish or cause to be published notice of such default or insolvency once a week for two (2) consecutive weeks in a newspaper of general circulation in each grand division of the state and in the Tennessee Administrative Register. The notice shall direct all public depositors who sustained a loss occasioned by the default or insolvency that was not satisfied pursuant to § 9-4-512 to file their claims with the state treasurer within ninety (90) days after the date of the first publication of the notice.

(b)  No claim made pursuant to subsection (a) shall be binding on the pool or the qualified public depositories unless presented within ninety (90) days after the date of the first publication of the notice.

This subsection does not affect any proceeding to:

     (1)  Enforce any real property mortgage, chattel mortgage, security interest, or other lien on property of a qualified public depository that is in default or insolvency; or

     (2)  Establish liability of a qualified public depository that is in default or insolvency to the limits of any federal or other casualty insurance protection.
