New Jersey Statutes Title 17. Corporations and Institutions for Finance and Insurance 17 § 37A-7

a. Within 90 days after the effective date of this act, the directors of the association shall submit to the commissioner, for his review and approval, a proposed plan of operation. Such proposed plan shall provide for economical, fair and non-discriminatory administration, and for the prompt and efficient provision of essential property insurance to promote orderly community development. Such proposed plan shall include: preliminary assessment of all members for initial expenses necessary to commence operations; establishment of necessary facilities; management of the association; assessment of members to defray losses and expenses; underwriting standards; procedures for acceptance and cession of reinsurance; procedures for determining amounts of insurance to be provided; time limits and procedures for processing applications for insurance; and such other provisions as may be deemed necessary by the commissioner to carry out the purposes of this act.

b. The proposed plan shall be reviewed by the commissioner and approved by him if he finds that such plan fulfills the purposes provided by section 1 of this act. In his review of the proposed plan the commissioner may, in his discretion, consult with the directors and other members of the association and any other individual or organization. If the commissioner approves the proposed plan he shall certify such approval to the directors and said plan shall take effect 10 days after such certification. If the commissioner disapproves all or any part of the proposed plan of operation he shall return same to the directors with a statement, in writing, of the reasons for his disapproval and any recommendations he may wish to make. The directors may accept the commissioner's recommendations, or may propose a new plan, which accepted recommendations or a new plan shall be submitted to the commissioner within 30 days after the return of a disapproved plan to the directors. If the directors do not submit a proposed plan of operation within 90 days after the effective date of this act, or a new plan which is acceptable to the commissioner, or accept the recommendations of the commissioner within 30 days after the disapproval of a proposed plan, the commissioner shall promulgate a plan of operation and certify same to the directors. Any such plan promulgated by the commissioner shall take effect 10 days after certification to the directors; provided, however, that until a plan of operation is in effect pursuant to the provisions of this act, any existing temporary placement facility shall be continued in effect on a mandatory basis on such terms as the commissioner shall determine.

c. The directors of the association may, on their own initiative, amend the plan of operation at any time, subject to the approval by the commissioner.

d. The commissioner may review the plan of operation whenever he deems expedient, and shall review same at least once a year, and may amend said plan after consultation with the directors and upon certification to the directors of such amendment.
