A society may create, maintain, invest, disburse, and apply any special fund or funds necessary to carry out any purpose permitted by the laws of the society. A society may, pursuant to resolution of its supreme governing body, establish and operate separate accounts and issue contracts on a variable basis, subject to the provisions of law regulating life and health insurers establishing the accounts and issuing the contracts.
