39-71-2105. Additional proof of solvency -- revocation of order. (1) The department, with the concurrence of the Montana self-insurers guaranty fund, may at any time require from any employer acting under compensation plan No. 1 additional proof of solvency and financial ability to pay the benefits provided by this chapter.
     (2) The department may, after providing an opportunity for an administrative review conference to consider information submitted by a plan No. 1 employer, revoke any order of approval upon 20 days' notice to the employer. A decision to revoke approval involving a plan No. 1 employer who is a member of the Montana self-insurers guaranty fund requires the concurrence of the guaranty fund. A plan No. 1 employer that is dissatisfied with the decision following the administrative review conference may appeal the decision and request a contested case hearing pursuant to 39-71-2401(2).
     (3) A decision revoking an order of approval is final unless the employer files an appeal with the department within 20 days of the issuance of the notice. An employer may not continue to self insure after the 20-day period provided for in subsection (2) has expired unless the department is satisfied that the employer has provided sufficient security and financial ability to pay the benefits provided by this chapter. A decision issued pursuant to this subsection involving a plan No. 1 employer who is a member of the Montana self-insurers guaranty fund requires the concurrence of the guaranty fund.
