insert the following:
      (e)  An insurer may petition the commissioner for an
abatement or deferment of all or part of an assessment imposed by
the board. The commissioner may abate or defer all or part of the
assessment if the commissioner determines that payment of the
assessment would endanger the ability of the insurer to fulfill its
contractual obligations.  If all or part of an assessment against
an insurer is abated or deferred, the amount by which the
assessment is abated or deferred shall be assessed against the
other insurers in a manner consistent with the basis for computing
assessments under this section.  An insurer receiving an abatement
or deferment under this subsection remains liable to the pool for
the deficiency.
