The Director shall require that the applicant furnish a financial statement and other pertinent information on a form prescribed by the Director.

For the purpose of satisfying the requirements of the Act and the No-Fault Insurance Act, each self-insurer approved by the Director shall file an agreement that, with respect to accidents occurring while the certificate of self-insurance is in effect, the self-insurer will pay the same monetary amounts that an insurance company would have been obliged to pay under an owner's motor vehicle insurance policy if an insurance company had issued a motor vehicle insurance policy to the insurer.

A certificate of self-insurance shall be effective for a period of one (1) year from the date of issuance.
