1. The Commissioner, as receiver, rehabilitator or liquidator, may appoint one or more special deputies who have all the powers and responsibilities of a receiver, rehabilitator or liquidator, and the Commissioner may employ such counsels, clerks and assistants as the Commissioner considers necessary. The compensation of such special deputies, counsels, clerks and assistants and all expenses of taking possession of the insurer and of conducting the proceedings must be fixed by the Commissioner with the approval of the court, and paid out of the money or other assets of the insurer. The persons appointed pursuant to this section serve at the pleasure of the Commissioner. The Commissioner, as receiver, rehabilitator or liquidator, may, with the approval of the court, appoint an advisory committee of policyholders, claimants or other creditors, including guaranty associations, if the Commissioner considers such a committee necessary. The committee serves at the pleasure of the Commissioner and serves without compensation other than reimbursement for reasonable travel and other expenses. No other committee of any nature may be appointed by the Commissioner or the court in proceedings for receivership, rehabilitation or liquidation conducted pursuant to this chapter.
2. If the property of the insurer does not contain sufficient cash or liquid assets to defray the costs incurred, the Commissioner may advance the costs so incurred out of any appropriation for the maintenance of the Division. Any amounts so advanced for expenses of administration must be repaid to the Commissioner out of the first available money of the insurer.
