The commissioner shall be the custodian of all moneys collected by him or her or coming into his or her possession in the course of any proceeding under this article, but the commissioner may deposit those moneys, or any part thereof, without court approval in a bank which is a member of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), so long as the total deposit did not exceed those federal insurance limits; in a centralized State Treasury system bank account; or in funds administered by the Treasurer.

Provided further, any money which is deposited by the commissioner pursuant to this section, which the commissioner determines is available for investment, may be invested or reinvested by the Treasurer in any of the securities which are described in Article 1 (commencing with Section 16430) of Chapter 3 of Part 2 of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code, or placed in a bank as provided in Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 16500) of Part 2 of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code, and handled in the same manner as money in the State Treasury. Any increment which is received from that investment or reinvestment or deposit shall be remitted to the commissioner for allocation, upon a proper and equitable basis, to each estate participating in the investment, reinvestment, or deposit and deposited and disbursed as provided in Section 1037. The Treasurer may deduct from that remittance an amount equal to the reasonable costs incurred in carrying out this section or may bill the commissioner for those costs and the commissioner shall pay those costs from money which is collected pursuant to this chapter.

Terms Used In California Insurance Code 1041

  • Commissioner: means the Insurance Commissioner of this State. See California Insurance Code 20
  • 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.
  • 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
  • State: means the State of California, unless applied to the different parts of the United States. See California Insurance Code 28
