§3062. Acquisition of insurance; self-insurance or shared risk programs not insurance
A. The governing authority of any municipality, parish, school board, or interlocal risk management agency authorized pursuant to R.S. 33:1341, et seq., hereafter referred to in this Part as the "governing authority", may contract for any type of insurance protection for itself or its officers and employees including self insurance or shared risk programs, provided the term of coverage of such insurance does not exceed ten years, and such governing authority may make such advance payments of the cost of such insurance as it shall deem appropriate.
B. A governing authority participating in a program of self-insurance or shared risk shall not constitute an insurance company or an insurer under the laws of this state, and the development and administration of such a program shall not constitute doing an insurance business. An agreement or contract entered into by any such governing authority providing for the creation and maintenance of self-insurance or shared risk programs shall not be deemed to constitute insurance as defined by R.S. 22:46, nor shall such a program be subject to the provisions of Chapter 1 of Title 22 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950.
Acts 1986, No. 973, §1, eff. July 14, 1986; Acts 2008, No. 415, §2, eff. Jan. 1, 2009.
