Health & Saf. Code, § 51684

(a) The agency shall collect a premium for a loan loss guarantee as provided in Section 51657. All premiums shall be deposited in the Seismic Rehabilitation Loan Loss Guarantee Account within the insurance fund, which is hereby created.

(b) Premiums shall be calculated in an amount which, when added to the other revenues of the account, will be adequate to, in the following order of priority: pay losses on claims made under loan loss guarantees issued hereunder, pay actual operating costs of the program, and repay moneys transferred to the account pursuant to Section 51685. The agency is authorized to transfer from the account actual operating expenses necessary for its administration of this program. Any excess premiums shall be retained in the account and used to expand the loan loss guarantee program hereunder.

(c) Moneys in the account shall be segregated from other moneys of the insurance fund and shall not be transferred from the account for any purpose, except as provided in this chapter. Loan loss guarantees issued by the agency for the benefit of either construction lenders or borrowers shall specify that only the moneys in the account are available to pay claims under loan loss guarantees and that the other assets of the insurance fund, the assets of the agency, and the assets of the State of California are not available to pay claims or damages resulting from loan loss guarantees.
