58-20-15. Equitable apportionment among insurers of applicants for policies--Participation by all insurers--Appeal to director--Judicial review. After consultation with insurers authorized to issue workers' compensation policies in this state, the director shall provide or approve a reasonable plan or plans for the equitable apportionment among such insurers of applicants for such workers' compensation policies who are in good faith entitled to but unable to procure such policies through ordinary methods. The director may approve applicants who are only able to procure workers' compensation policies at a rate that substantially exceeds that of the rate in the plan. When any such plans have been made by or been approved by the director, all such insurers shall subscribe thereto and participate therein. Any applicant for any such policy, any person insured under any such plan, and any insurer affected thereby, may appeal to the director from any ruling or decision of the manager or committee designated to operate such plan. Any person aggrieved hereunder by any order or act of the director may, within ten days after notice thereof, file a petition in the circuit court for the county of Hughes, or in the circuit court for the county in which applicant is a resident, for a review thereof. The court shall summarily hear the petition and make any appropriate order or decree.
