A. A domestic mutual insurer while maintaining unimpaired surplus funds not less in amount than the minimum paid-in capital stock and surplus required to be maintained by a domestic stock insurer for authority to transact the same kind or kinds of insurance, may, upon receipt of the superintendent's order so authorizing, extinguish the contingent liability of members to assessment under all its policies then in force and, so long as such surplus is maintained, may omit provisions imposing contingent liability in all policies currently issued or renewed. Each such policy so issued or renewed shall contain a statement of nonassessability on its face or by endorsement attached. B. The superintendent shall not authorize a domestic insurer to extinguish such contingent liability unless the extinction applies to all of the policies of the insurer. C. The superintendent shall revoke the authority of a domestic mutual insurer to issued policies without contingent liability if: (1) the insurer's surplus is less than that required under Subsection A, above, or (2) the insurer, by resolution of its board of directors approved by a majority of the insurer's members at a meeting of the members of which the notice contained notice of the proposed change, requests that the authority to issue nonassessable policies be revoked. D. During absence of such authority the insurer shall not issue any policy without providing therein for contingent liability of the policyholder, or renew or accept premium on any policy which is then in force without endorsing the same to provide for contingent liability.
