33-17-27. Distribution of unused premiums, savings, credits, or profits to subscribers.

A reciprocal insurer may from time to time return to its subscribers any unused premiums, savings, credits, or profits accruing to their accounts. Any such distribution shall not unfairly discriminate between classes of risks or policies or between subscribers, but the distribution may vary as to classes of subscribers based upon the experience of the subscribers. In no event shall there be any distribution whatsoever by a domestic reciprocal insurer while notes or advances to the minimum surplus required by Code Section 33-17-17 are outstanding, unless the Commissioner shall first approve the distribution.
