Sec. 7714.
(1) This chapter shall not be construed to reduce the liability for unpaid assessments of the insureds on an impaired insurer or insolvent insurer operating under a plan with assessment liability.
(2) Records shall be kept of all meetings of the board of directors to discuss the activities of the association in carrying out powers and duties under section 7708. Association records concerning an impaired insurer or an insolvent insurer shall not be disclosed before the termination of a liquidation, rehabilitation, or conservation proceeding involving an impaired insurer or insolvent insurer, or before the termination of the impairment or insolvency of the insurer, or upon the order of a court of competent jurisdiction. This subsection does not limit the duty of the association to render a report of association activities under section 7715.
(3) For the purpose of carrying out obligations under this chapter, the association shall be considered a creditor of the impaired insurer or insolvent insurer to the extent of assets attributable to covered policies reduced by any amounts to which the association is entitled as subrogee pursuant to section 7708(16). Assets of the impaired insurer or insolvent insurer attributable to covered policies shall be used to continue all covered policies and pay all contractual obligations of the impaired insurer or insolvent insurer as required by this chapter. As used in this subsection, "assets attributable to covered policies" means that proportion of the assets which the reserves that should have been established for the covered policies bear to the reserves that should have been established for all policies of insurance written by the impaired insurer or insolvent insurer.
(4) As a creditor of an impaired insurer or insolvent insurer as provided in subsection (3) and consistent with chapter 81, the association and other similar associations are entitled to receive a disbursement of assets out of the marshaled assets, from time to time as the assets become available to reimburse it, as a credit against contractual obligations under this act. If the liquidator has not, within 120 days of a final determination of insolvency of an insurer by the receivership court, made an application to the court for the approval of a proposal to disburse assets out of marshaled assets to guaranty associations having obligations because of the insolvency, then the association may make application to the receivership court for approval of its own proposal to disburse assets.
