Sec. 9.5. (a) The commissioner shall provide insurers with assistance from one (1) or more individuals with technical expertise in mine subsidence for the purpose of assisting with the adjusting of claims under coverage issued under this chapter. If the commissioner considers it necessary in order to comply with this section, the commissioner may:
(1) expand the staff of the department of insurance; or
(2) enter into contracts providing for the services of persons with the necessary technical expertise to provide assistance to insurers in the determination of subsidence events.
(b) The adjustment of a claim against a policy that includes mine subsidence coverage under this chapter is the sole responsibility of the insurer until the insurer makes a preliminary determination that the loss may involve mine subsidence. Upon such a determination, those persons retained by the commissioner as set out in subsection (a) shall assist the commissioner and insurer in determining the existence of a mine subsidence event and the costs of the event shall be paid from the fund established by section 7 of this chapter.
