1. Upon the issuance of an order of liquidation with a finding of insolvency against a domestic insurer, the Commissioner shall apply to the district court for authority to disburse money to the Nevada Insurance Guaranty Association or the Nevada Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association out of the marshaled assets of the insurer, as money becomes available, in amounts equal to disbursements made or to be made by the Association for claims-handling expense and covered-claims obligations upon the presentation of evidence that disbursements have been made by the Association. The Commissioner shall apply to the district court for authority to make similar disbursements to insurance guaranty associations in other jurisdictions if one of the Nevada Associations is entitled to like payment pursuant to the laws relating to insolvent insurers in the jurisdiction in which the organization is domiciled.

2. The Commissioner, in determining the amounts available for disbursement to the Nevada Insurance Guaranty Association, the Nevada Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association and similar organizations in other jurisdictions, shall reserve sufficient assets for the payment of the expenses of administration.

3. The Commissioner shall establish procedures for the ratable allocation of disbursements to the Nevada Insurance Guaranty Association, the Nevada Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association and similar organizations in other jurisdictions, and shall secure from each organization to which money is paid as a condition to advances in reimbursement of covered-claims obligations an agreement to return to the Commissioner, on demand, amounts previously advanced which are required to pay claims of secured creditors and claims falling within the priorities established in paragraph (a) or (b) of subsection 1 of NRS 696B.420.

4. The Commissioner, as receiver for an insolvent insurer, may file a claim on behalf of all insureds for any unearned premiums. The Nevada Insurance Guaranty Association, the Nevada Life and Health Insurance Guaranty Association and similar organizations in other jurisdictions shall accept the claim in lieu of requiring each insured to file a claim for the unearned premium.
