(1) A domestic reciprocal insurer may apply for a certificate to issue nonassessable policies of insurance. A nonassessable policy is a policy in which a subscriber may not be assessed pursuant to Sections 83-33-29 and 83-33-31. If a domestic reciprocal insurer has a surplus of assets over all liabilities at least equal to the minimum capital and surplus required to be maintained by a domestic stock insurer authorized to transact like kinds of insurance, upon application by the domestic reciprocal insurer the Commissioner of Insurance shall issue a certificate of nonassessability authorizing the insurer to omit provisions imposing contingent assessment liability in all policies delivered or issued or renewed.
(2) If a domestic reciprocal insurer’s surplus of assets over all liabilities falls below the minimum capital and surplus required to be maintained by a domestic stock insurer authorized to transact like kinds of insurance, the Commissioner of Insurance may forthwith revoke the certificate of nonassessability. The revocation shall not render subject to contingent assessment liability any policy then in force.
