   claimant shall be required to first exhaust all coverage provided by

   injury, or loss that gave rise to the covered claim against the Fund.       
   Provides that the Fund's obligation shall be reduced by the amount re-      
   covered or recoverable, whichever is greater, under the other in-           
   surance policy. Provides that to the extent the Fund's obligation           
   is reduced, the liability of person insured by the insolvent insurer's      
   policy for the claim shall be reduced in the same amount. Makes other       
   changes. Effective immediately, except that provisions concerning the       
   insurance exchange take effect January 1, 1998.
