§ 24156 County Self-Insurance Program

Key Takeaways

  • •Counties can choose to insure themselves instead of buying bonds for their workers.
  • •If a county picks self-insurance, they don’t have to follow the usual bond rules.
  • •The county must set aside enough money for this insurance, following specific rules.

Example

A county decides not to buy bonds for its school bus drivers and instead sets up its own insurance fund.

The county can do this by passing a rule, but they must make sure they have enough money saved up to cover any problems, like if a bus driver makes a mistake.

§ 24156 County Self-Insurance Program

The board of supervisors of any county may, by resolution, adopt a program of self-insurance in lieu of bonds for any officer or employee employed by such county, or for the officers or employees of any district, the governing board of which is the board of supervisors of the county adopting the resolution, or for any officer or attaché of any court supported in whole or in part by the adopting county. After the resolution is adopted, any or all requirements of law with respect to faithful performance or revolving fund bonds shall be inapplicable to such county, district or court or any officer or employee thereof; provided, however, that such a county shall provide for self-insurance, the amount of which shall be determined pursuant to the provisions of Sections 1480, 1481, 24150 and 24151. (Added by Stats. 1976, Ch. 384.)
