(b) This chapter is intended to provide coverage to a person who is a resident of this state and, in special circumstances, to a nonresident.

In determining the application of the provisions of this subsection, in situations where a person could be covered by the association of more than one state, whether as an owner, payee, beneficiary, or assignee, this chapter shall be construed in conjunction with other state laws to result in coverage by only one association.
