(b) The association may use money from assessments to negotiate and consummate contracts of reinsurance or assumption of liabilities or contracts of substitution to provide for outstanding liabilities of covered claims.

(c) Except as provided by Section 2602.109, money from assessments may not be used for the guaranty fee account.
