§  64.  Administration  of  plan. 1. The board of supervisors shall by   local law provide for the administration of the plan, such  plan  to  be   administered  by  either  a  committee  or  an administrator. Any county   officer or employee or other person may be appointed to  such  committee   or  act  as administrator, or be appointed or employed by such committee   or administrator. The committee or administrator may employ, subject  to   the  approval of the board of supervisors, such persons as may be deemed   necessary for the operation of the plan, and may contract for  necessary   actuarial,  or  other  expert  or  professional services. Members of the   committee or the administrator, and all other officers and employees  of   the  plan, shall receive such salary or other remuneration, payable from   moneys of the plan, as shall be  fixed  by  the  board  of  supervisors.   Notwithstanding  the  provisions  of  any other law, a county officer or   employee, other than a member of the board of supervisors,  in  addition   to  his  salary  as  such  officer  or employee, may be compensated as a   member of such committee, as such administrator, or  as  an  officer  or   employee of the plan.2.  The  county  treasurer shall be the custodian of all moneys of the   plan. Such moneys shall be accounted for as a separate fund to be  known   as  the  county self-insurance fund, and shall be deposited in a bank or   trust company designated in the manner provided by law as  a  depositary   of  moneys  of  the  county.  Disbursements  of  such moneys, except for   payment of fixed  salaries,  shall  be  made  only  upon  order  of  the   committee or administrator, as the case may be. Compensation may be paid   upon  such  order  to persons entitled thereto in the manner provided in   section twenty-five of this chapter. The amount of compensation  payable   prior  to  an  award  pursuant  to such order shall constitute a settled   claim within the meaning of the local finance law.  Books,  records  and   papers of the plan shall be subject to examination and audit as provided   in section two hundred ten of the county law.3.

§  65.  Rules  and  regulations.  1. The board of supervisors shall by   local law adopt rules and regulations not inconsistent with law for  the   fair  and equitable administration and operation of the plan. Such rules   and regulations may provide standards and conditions with  respect,  but   not  limited,  to  (a) entry and withdrawal of participants, (b) medical   examinations, (c) safety programs, (d) reports by participants  and  (e)   cooperation  by  participants,  provided,  however,  that such rules and   regulations, or failure to adopt the same, shall not prevent  withdrawal   of  a participant from the plan upon the condition that such participant   shall pay, in a lump sum or in installments, an equitable share  of  the   outstanding  liabilities  of  the plan as of the date of withdrawal. Any   payments required upon entry  to  or  withdrawal  from  a  plan  may  be   financed,  in whole or in part, by any municipal corporation or district   corporation by the issuance of bonds or capital notes  pursuant  to  the   local finance law.2.  Such rules and regulations may also provide that for any violation   thereof or of this chapter, a participant may be expelled from the  plan   or be charged with a penalty. Any such penalty shall be collected at the   same  time  and in the same manner as other charges against participants   as provided in section sixty-seven of this chapter,  or  in  such  other   manner  as  may be provided in such rules and regulations. A participant   liable for the payment of a penalty may by action of its governing  body   elect  to recover the amount thereof from the public officer or employee   whose act or failure to act resulted in the imposition of such  penalty.   In such event, the amount of the penalty may be withheld from the salary   or other remuneration payable to such officer or employee.

Such plan,  however,  shall   continue  to  operate  thereafter  until  all  liabilities  of  the plan   incurred prior to such effective date shall have been satisfied and  all   advances  to the county self-insurance fund shall have been repaid. Such   local law shall provide a method for the distribution of any  assets  of   the  plan  remaining after all such liabilities have been satisfied. The   provisions of this  section  shall  not  apply  to  any  plan  abandoned   pursuant  to section sixty-one of this chapter. At the discretion of the   chair, the board of supervisors of a county may execute an assumption of   workers' compensation liability insurance policy securing  such  further   and  future  contingent  liability  as  may arise from prior injuries to   workers and be incurred by reason of any change in the condition of such   workers warranting the board making subsequent  awards  for  payment  of   additional  compensation. Such policy shall be in a form approved by the   superintendent of financial services and shall be issued  by  the  state   fund  or any insurance company licensed to issue this class of insurance   in this state. In the event that such policy is issued by  an  insurance   company  other  than the state fund, then said policy shall be deemed to   be of the kind specified in  paragraph  fifteen  of  subsection  (a)  of   section  one  thousand  one  hundred  thirteen  of the insurance law and   covered by the  workers'  compensation  security  fund  as  created  and   governed by article six-A of this chapter. It shall only be issued for a   single complete premium payment in advance by the county, city, village,   town,  school  district, fire district or other political subdivision of   state  and  in  an  amount  deemed  acceptable  by  the  chair  and  the   superintendent  of financial services. In lieu of the applicable premium   charge ordinarily required to be imposed  by  a  carrier,  said  premium   shall  include a surcharge in an amount to be determined by the chair to   satisfy all assessment liability due and owing to the board  and/or  the   chair  under  this chapter. Said surcharge shall be payable to the board   simultaneous to the execution of the assumption of workers' compensation   liability insurance policy. However, the payment of said surcharge  does   not  relieve  the  carrier from any other liability, including liability   owed to the superintendent of financial  services  pursuant  to  article   six-A  of this chapter. When issued such policy shall be non-cancellable   without recourse for any cause during the continuance of  the  liability   secured and so covered.
