On acceptance of such policy, the securities or cash of the self-insurer on deposit with the chair shall be returned to the self-insurer or, the chair shall notify the self-insurer that the letters of credit need not be renewed.
(b) Termination of surety bond.
The chair, upon receipt of notice of termination of a surety bond filed by a self-insurer with the chair, may make demand upon the self-insurer to deposit with the chair, within 10 days after demand, securities or cash or file irrevocable letters of credit in an amount determined in accordance with sections 316.1, 316.2 and 316.3 of this Title.
