Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 13, § 5753. Interlocal risk management agency not an insurance company or insurer

An interlocal risk management agency operating an interlocal risk management program is not an insurance company or an insurer under the laws of this state and the designation by the agency of the Louisiana Coroners' Association or a third party shall not constitute said association or entity as an insurance company or an insurer under the laws of this state. The development and the administration by an interlocal risk management agency or the Louisiana Coroners' Association of a group self-insurance fund for the sole purpose of operating an interlocal risk management program shall not constitute the business of insurance. Intergovernmental agreements providing for the creation and maintenance of an interlocal risk management agency shall not be deemed to constitute insurance as defined by R.S. 22:46; nor shall the interlocal risk management agency or the development of a group self-insurance fund be subject to the provisions of Chapter 1 of Title 22 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 for public liability risks as defined in this Part.
