(a) In order to facilitate the administration of this chapter, there is created the SAFE Loss Payment Fund, which shall be held and administered by the State Treasurer, for the account of the SAFE Program, separate and apart from the State General Fund. The proceeds from the sale of securities pledged as collateral or from any assessment pursuant to Section 41-14A-9 shall be deposited into the Loss Payment Fund. The amounts on deposit in the Loss Payment Fund shall be disbursed as necessary in accordance with the provisions of this chapter in order to pay losses to public depositors and for such other purposes as may be expressly provided for in this chapter.
(b) The State Treasurer is authorized to pay any losses to public depositors from the Loss Payment Fund. The term "losses," for purposes of this chapter, shall also include losses of interest or other accumulations to the public depositor as a result of penalties for early withdrawal required by applicable federal laws or regulations because of suspension or disqualification of a qualified public depository by the State Treasurer under the authority granted in this chapter or because of withdrawal from the SAFE Program in accordance with rules or regulations adopted by the board of directors pursuant to this chapter. In that event, the State Treasurer is authorized to assess against the suspended, disqualified, or withdrawing public depository, in addition to any amount authorized by any other provisions of this chapter, an administrative penalty equal to the amount of the early withdrawal penalty and to pay that amount over to the public depositor as reimbursement for such loss. Any money in the Loss Payment Fund estimated not to be needed for immediate cash requirements shall be invested in any securities or other investments selected by the State Treasurer that are permitted under Section 41-14-30. All interest and other earnings from the investment of assets of the Loss Payment Fund shall accrue to the Loss Payment Fund.
