To avoid situations where a society's transactions would create undue financial risks to its enrollees, subscribers, certificate holders, or the people of this state, the regulations specified in this section are authorized. The commissioner may by regulation establish standards consistent with those of the national association of insurance commissioners which require any society to maintain a minimum surplus level. The minimum surplus level shall reflect the type, volume, and nature of the insurance business being transacted and the type of entity for which the surplus levels are being established in accordance with the assessment features of societies. The regulation may additionally require the submission of an opinion by a qualified actuary which states whether the surplus level of the entity is sufficient for the authority requested.
