Terms Used In Idaho Code 41-4310

  • Assets: (1) The property comprising the estate of a deceased person, or (2) the property in a trust account.
  • Association: means the Idaho life and health insurance guaranty association. See Idaho Code 41-4305
  • Corporation: A legal entity owned by the holders of shares of stock that have been issued, and that can own, receive, and transfer property, and carry on business in its own name.
  • Director: means the director of the Idaho department of insurance. See Idaho Code 41-4305
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
(3)  The plan of operation shall, in addition to requirements enumerated elsewhere in this chapter:
(a)  Establish procedures for handling the assets of the association;
(b)  Establish the amount and method of reimbursing members of the board of directors under section 41-4307, Idaho Code;

(f)  Establish any additional procedures for assessments under section 41-4309, Idaho Code; and
(g)  Contain additional provisions necessary or proper for the execution of the powers and duties of the association.
(4)  The plan of operation may provide that any or all powers and duties of the association, except those under section 41-4308(12)(c), Idaho Code, and section 41-4309, Idaho Code, are delegated to a corporation, association or other organization which performs or will perform functions similar to those of this association, or its equivalent, in two (2) or more states. Such a corporation, association or organization shall be reimbursed for any payments made on behalf of the association and shall be paid for its performance of any function of the association. A delegation under this subsection shall take effect only with the approval of both the board of directors and the director, and may be made only to a corporation, association or organization which extends protection not substantially less favorable and effective than that provided by this chapter.
