HRS §435C-11

When the medical malpractice insurance plan starts and stops

This section says the state's insurance commissioner decides when the temporary medical malpractice insurance plan starts and stops. The plan can only exist for a limited time after it starts, and it is meant to fill a gap when regular insurance is not available.

The statute, as written — Initiation of plan

The plan becomes operational at the direction of the insurance commissioner, upon a finding that medical malpractice insurance is not or will not be readily available in this State to the majority of the physicians and hospitals. Upon a finding by the insurance commissioner that medical malpractice insurance has become readily available in the voluntary market, the commissioner may direct the plan to cease writing medical malpractice insurance. The plan, being a temporary measure, shall not remain in existence for more than three years after the plan becomes operational.
