Group, Industrial and Credit Insurance|Article 3.51. Group Insurance for Employees of State and Its Subdivisions and College and School Employees|Section 1.

Sec. 1.  (a)  The State of Texas and each of its political, governmental and administrative subdivisions, departments, agencies, associations of public employees, and the governing boards and authorities of each state university, colleges, common and independent school districts or of any other agency or subdivision of the public school system of the State of Texas are authorized to procure contracts with any insurance company authorized to do business in this state insuring their respective employees, or if an association of public employees is the policyholder, insuring its respective members, or any class or classes thereof under a policy or policies of group health, accident, accidental death and dismemberment, disability income replacement and hospital, surgical and/or medical expense insurance or a group contract providing for annuities.  The dependents of any such employees or association members, as the case may be, may be insured under group policies which provide hospital, surgical and/or medical expense insurance.  The insureds' contributions to the premiums for such insurance or annuities issued to the employer or to an association of public employees as the policyholder may be deducted by the employer from the insureds' salaries when authorized in writing by the respective employees so to do.  The premium for the policy or contract may be paid in whole or in part from funds contributed by the employer or in whole or in part from funds contributed by the insured employees.  When an association of public employees is the holder of such a policy of insurance or contract, the premium for employees that are members of such association may be paid in whole or in part by the State of Texas or other agency authorized to procure contracts or policies of insurance under this section, or in whole or in part from funds contributed by the insured employees that are members of such association;  provided, however, that any monies or credits received by or allowed to the policyholder or contract holder pursuant to any participation agreement contained in or issued in connection with the policy or contract shall be applied to the payment of future premiums and to the pro rata abatement of the insured employee's contribution therefor.The term employees as used herein in addition to its usual meaning shall include elective and appointive officials of the state.(b) Independent School Districts procuring policies insuring their employees under this Section may pay all or any portion of the premiums on such policies from the local funds of such Independent School District, but in no event shall any part of such premiums be paid from funds paid such districts by the State of Texas.

Sec. 10. PREMIUM DISCOUNT RECOUPMENT.    (a)  Eligibility.  Effective January 1, 1999, each insurer that has filed and issued premium discounts to health care professionals pursuant to Article 5.15-4 of this code shall be eligible to elect to receive a premium tax credit in lieu of indemnification for claims filed with the Attorney General under Chapter 110, Civil Practice and Remedies Code.(b) Amount of Tax Credit.  An eligible company may elect to recoup premium discounts issued to eligible health care professionals in lieu of indemnification from the State of Texas for claims filed under Chapter 110, Civil Practice and Remedies Code.  Such election shall be made as a credit that is part of the annual premium tax return filed on or before March 1, 1999.  An insurer may credit the total amount of any discounts issued less any reimbursements received prior to January 1, 1999, by the insurer for claims filed under Chapter 110, Civil Practice and Remedies Code, against its premium tax under Article 4.10 of this code.  The tax credit herein authorized shall be allowed at a rate not to exceed 20 percent of the credit per year for five or more successive years following the initial election made in March 1999.  The balance of payments due the insurer and not claimed as a tax credit may be reflected in the books and records of the insurer as an admitted asset for all purposes, including exhibition in annual statements pursuant to Article 6.12 of this code.  The tax credit allowed in any one year may not exceed the premium tax due in that year.(c) An eligible insurer that elects to receive tax credits shall not be eligible to file claims for indemnity under Chapter 110, Civil Practice and Remedies Code after January 1, 1999.  Any claims of an eligible insurer filed with the Attorney General prior to January 1, 1999, that have not been reimbursed shall also be deemed to have been waived by the insurer by making its election.  An insurer that elects not to recoup its discount through tax credit will continue to remain eligible for indemnification of eligible claims under Chapter 110, Civil Practice and Remedies Code.(d) The elections provided herein shall not affect the right of a self-insurance trust created under Article 21.49-4 of this code from seeking indemnification for eligible claims.(e) The provisions of Article 21.46 of this code shall not apply to the credits authorized herein.
