N.D. Cent. Code § 26.1-22-17
All losses occasioned by the perils insured against under this chapter must be paid out of the fund in an amount not exceeding the amount of the insurance upon any particular risk. The loss upon any building or property insured in the fund, whether totally destroyed or partially damaged by reason of the perils, must be adjusted by the commissioner or a duly authorized adjuster or adjusting company. All necessary loss adjustment expenses must be included as a component of the loss and be paid out of the fund. Immediately upon the happening or occasion of any such loss or damage, the insured shall notify the commissioner. The notification must be in the manner required by the commissioner and must provide a description of the property, the amount of insurance carried, the probable amount of loss or damage, and the probable cause of loss or damage. The insured may not disturb the property except as provided in the policy until the commissioner or the commissioner's agent has adjusted the loss or has given notice that the information on which the adjustment is to be made has been secured. Allowances for loss and damage must be paid out of the fund upon warrants drawn by the office of management and budget upon the state treasurer against the fund after the submission of a voucher prepared by the commissioner to the office of management and budget specifying the amount to be paid and the payee to whom the warrants must be drawn. However, if at any time due to a catastrophe or disaster, or a succession of catastrophes or disasters, the reserve balance has been depleted below two million dollars, the commissioner may, with the approval of the industrial commission, issue premium anticipation certificates in an amount sufficient to bring the reserve balance up to two million dollars. The premium anticipation certificates must be issued for a period of from ten to twenty years, as determined by the commissioner with the approval of the industrial commission, and the interest and principal must be paid and retired by assessments levied on all policies in force with the fund. To retire these premium anticipation certificates, the commissioner shall levy a special assessment on every policy in force with the fund; however, the total of all assessments and premiums provided for in section 26.1-22-14 may not exceed the full rate as developed by an advisory organization at the direction of the commissioner. Any state department may invest its funds in the purchase of the premium anticipation certificates.
