Section 8.46.040. Security deposits.

	(a)  Unless granted an exemption by the board under (c) of this section, the posting of a security deposit under this section is required for authorization for an employer to self-insure the employer's obligations under the Act.  
	(b)  Unless granted an exemption by the board under (c) of this section, a security deposit must be in the amount of $600,000 or 125 percent of the total outstanding accrued self-insured workers' compensation liabilities under the Act, whichever is greater.  
	(c)  After an employer has been authorized to self-insure the employer's obligations under the Act for five years or more, an employer may include with the employer's renewal application a request for exemption for some or all of the employer's security requirement. The request for an exemption from posting a security deposit must include a statement of reasons for exemption along with the employer's application for renewal of self-insurance authorization. The board's action on the renewal application will include a determination whether a security deposit is necessary for that particular self-insured employer.
