(a) A domestic mutual insurer may amend its articles of incorporation for any lawful purpose by affirmative vote of a majority of the members present or represented by proxy at any regular annual meeting of its members, or at any special meeting of members called for the purpose. Written notices of the proposed amendment shall be given members at least thirty (30) days prior to the meeting and may be given in the same manner and at the same time as notice of the meeting is given or in any other appropriate manner.

(b) Upon adoption of the amendment the insurer shall prepare articles of amendment in triplicate under its corporate seal, setting forth the amendment and the date and manner of the adoption thereof. The articles of amendment shall be executed by the insurer's president or vice-president and secretary or assistant secretary, and be acknowledged by them before an officer authorized by law to take acknowledgements of deeds.

(c) The triplicate originals of the articles of amendment shall be delivered to the commissioner and are subject to the same examination, certification, approval and filing procedures as provided for original articles of incorporation under W.S. 26-24-104. For filing articles of amendment of the articles of incorporation of a domestic mutual insurer the secretary of state shall charge and collect a fee of ten dollars ($10.00), which shall be credited to the general fund.
