Section 21.80.040. Creation of association.

   (a) There is created a nonprofit incorporated legal entity to be known as the Alaska Insurance Guaranty Association. All insurers defined as member insurers in AS 21.80.180 shall be and remain members of the association as a condition of their authority to transact insurance in this state. The association shall perform its functions under a plan of operation established and approved under AS 21.80.070 and shall exercise its powers through a board of governors established under AS 21.80.050. For purposes of administration and assessment, the association shall be divided into three separate accounts: the workers' compensation insurance account; the automobile insurance account; and the account for all other insurance to which this chapter applies.
   (b) A member insurer ceases to be a member on the day following the termination or expiration of the member insurer's license to transact the kinds of insurance to which this chapter applies; however, the insurer remains liable as a member insurer for any and all obligations, including obligations for assessments levied before the termination or expiration of the member insurer's license and assessments levied after the termination or expiration with respect to an insurer that became an insolvent insurer before the termination or expiration of the insurer's license.
