The trust account must be used to purchase liability insurance for the required period of insurance coverage.(3) The principal of an independent liability fund must remain inviolate, except as it is needed to pay just claims, for the full applicable termination period as provided in subsection (1). However, income from the principal not needed for administrative costs may be paid during the termination period to the person or persons who are designated to ultimately receive the principal of the fund, and the income is taxable to that person or persons.En.
