Chapter 27 - Organization and Corporate Procedures of Stock and Mutual Insurers.
Section 27-27-42 - Deficiencies in Stock Insurer's Capital or Assets of Mutual Insurers - Curing of Deficiency.

Any insurer receiving the commissioner's notice mentioned in Section 27-27-41:
(1) If a stock insurer and if its articles of incorporation and laws of this state so permit, by resolution of its board of directors and subject to any limitations upon assessment contained in its articles of incorporation, may assess its stockholders for amounts necessary to cure the deficiency and provide the insurer with a reasonable amount of surplus in addition. If any stockholder fails to pay a lawful assessment after notice given to him in person or by advertisement in such time and manner as approved by the commissioner, the insurer may require the return of the original certificate of stock held by the stockholder and, in cancellation and in lieu thereof, issue a new certificate for such number of shares as the stockholder may then be entitled to, upon the basis of the stockholder's proportionate interest in the amount of the insurer's capital stock, as determined by the commissioner to be remaining at the time of determination of amount of impairment under Section 27-27-41, after deducting from such proportionate interest the amount of such unpaid assessment. The insurer may pay for or issue fractional shares under this subdivision;
(2) If a mutual insurer, shall levy such an assessment upon members as is provided under Section 27-27-32; and
(3) Neither this section nor Section 27-27-41 shall be deemed to prohibit the insurer from curing any such deficiency through any lawful means other than those referred to in such sections.
