Standards for management and operations—Individual rate setting—Nondiscrimination in joint program contributions.
(1) Joint self-insurance program contribution formulas shall include all costs including rating for insured and self-insured layers of coverage. Contribution formulas shall be consistent and shall not unfairly discriminate among the participants relative to the risks covered and the coverage benefits provided under the joint self-insurance program. Contribution formulas shall prohibit public entity participants from subsidizing rates for nonprofit and/or privately owned affordable housing entities.
(2) This provision shall not be construed to prohibit individual choice of coverage by participants from several offered by the joint self-insurance program. The contribution formula, including the insured and self-insured components, shall be consistently applied to reflect the selection from among these choices.
(3) The contribution formula shall be available for review by the state risk manager.
