Receivers appointed by the United States District Court for the district of New Jersey or by the Superior Court of this State, or trustees in bankruptcy, who pursuant to an order of such court are operating any autobus, shall carry such insurance, or make such other provisions as the court appointing such receivers or trustees may by order direct, to indemnify such receivers or trustees against loss from the liability imposed by law for damages on account of bodily injury or death suffered by any person or persons as a result of an accident occurring by reason of the ownership, maintenance or use of such autobusses; but such receivers or trustees shall continue to carry such insurance as is required to be carried by other owners and operators of autobusses under the provisions of this chapter until such court shall have made an order as herein provided, and upon the making of any such order as herein provided, a certified copy of the same shall be filed with the officer or officers with whom insurance policies are required to be filed by this chapter.
As a condition precedent to the making of such an order such receivers or trustees in bankruptcy shall deposit with the Commissioner of Banking and Insurance of this State the sum of $100,000.00 in cash or in stocks, bonds, or bonds and mortgages, approved by the commissioner, which cash, stocks, bonds and bonds and mortgages shall be held by the commissioner as security for the liability imposed by law upon such receivers or trustees in bankruptcy, for personal injury and death resulting from the operation of said autobusses by such receivers or trustees in bankruptcy, and shall be subject to levy under execution issued upon judgments for such bodily injuries or death against such receivers or trustees in bankruptcy.
Such order shall remain in force and effect only so long as there shall remain in the hands of the commissioner cash, bonds, stocks, or bonds and mortgages aggregating $100,000.00 and meeting with the approval of the commissioner from time to time. So long as said deposit shall be maintained as herein provided, and no levy shall be made thereon, the receivers or trustees making the same shall be entitled to collect and receive the interest and dividends thereon, and to withdraw any deposited stocks, bonds and bonds and mortgages upon depositing with said commissioner other like securities.
Said deposit, or the balance thereof remaining, shall be returned to the receivers or trustees making the same upon proof satisfactory to the commissioner that all liabilities secured by said deposit have been discharged or adequately provided for.
