The TRICO JIF commenced operations on January 1, 1991 with a membership of nine (9) municipalities. The TRICO JIF was formed as a self-insurance pool and operates under the authority of N.J.S.A. 40A: 10-6 et seq. and related regulatory authority of the New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance, N.J.A.C. 11:15-2.1 et seq.
