30-A M.R.S. §2254: Public self-funded pool not insurance company

Any public self-funded pool operating under this chapter is not an insurance company, reciprocal insurer or insurer under the laws of the State. The development, administration and provision of public self-funded pool programs and coverages authorized by section 2253, subsection 1, by the governing authority created to administer the pool does not constitute doing an insurance business.
