§ 36-2806 — Bylaws; permit to do business.

Every such association shall adopt such bylaws not inconsistent with the laws of this state and of the United States, which, in the judgment of its members will best subserve the interests and purposes of the association. The members of every such association shall be held by the laws of this state to comply with all the provisions and requirements of such bylaws, and the terms of their policies of insurance shall be deemed to carry such bylaws, as a part thereof and shall so specify. The bylaws shall contain a form of certificate of insurance to be used. A copy of all bylaws adopted, all amendments, and changes therein shall be filed with the Insurance Commissioner, for his approval, before becoming effective, together with a list of the members at the time of organization. When such association has been duly organized and has adopted bylaws in accordance herewith, the Insurance Commissioner shall issue his certificate to that effect, whereupon such association may commence business and grant insurance.
