26-24-135. Contingent liability of mutual member generally.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in W.S. 26-24-138 with respect to nonassessable policies, each member of a domestic mutual insurer has a contingent liability, pro rata and not one (1) for another, for the discharge of its obligations. The contingent liability shall be in the maximum amount specified in the insurer's articles of incorporation consistent with W.S. 26-24-103(c)(iv).

(b) Any policy the insurer issues shall contain a statement of the contingent liability.

(c) Termination of any member's policy does not relieve the member of contingent liability for his proportion of the obligations of the insurer which accrue while the policy is in force as provided in W.S. 26-24-136.

(d) Unrealized contingent liability of members does not constitute an asset of the insurer in any determination of its financial condition.
