FIN § 17314.3Div. 6 · Ch. 2.5 · Art. 2

Statute text

(a)A deductible shall apply to each loss suffered by a member in the amount of five thousand dollars ($5,000), plus 5 percent of the amount by which the loss exceeds five thousand dollars ($5,000). If a member with more than one licensed location suffers a covered loss at more than one location, the deductible shall apply to each location separately in proportion to the amount of the loss suffered at each such licensed location.

(b)Fidelity Corporation shall pay the full amount of any member’s loss to the member or the member’s successor in interest. The member shall be obligated to pay to Fidelity Corporation the amount of the member’s deductible after payment in full of the loss by Fidelity Corporation.

(c)In the event a license is surrendered, suspended, or revoked prior to payment in full by the member of all or any portion of the deductible, the member shall nevertheless be liable to Fidelity Corporation for the amount of the deductible. If the license of the member is surrendered, suspended, or revoked prior to payment in full of the deductible, Fidelity Corporation shall have priority over all other claimants, except the State of California and any conservator or receiver of the member’s estate, against the assets of the licensee, including the bond required under Section 17202.
