§ 38.2-2515 Insurers to maintain membership of 100 or more; license suspended or revoked if membership not maintained; rehabilitation or liquidation
Every mutual assessment property and casualty insurer shall maintain a membership of at least 100 persons at all times. Whenever the number of members falls below 100, the insurer shall notify the Commission immediately of that fact. Upon receipt of that notice, or upon information from any source that the membership of the insurer is less than 100, the Commission may revoke the insurer’s license, or may issue an order requiring the insurer to increase its membership to at least 100 within a designated period not exceeding 90 days. If at the expiration of the designated period the membership has not been increased to at least 100, the Commission shall revoke the insurer’s license. Upon the revocation of its license as authorized in this section, delinquency proceedings against the insurer may be instituted and conducted as provided in Chapter 15 of this title.
History
This law was first created in 1952. The record of its establishment is cataloged in chapter 317 of that year’s edition of “Acts of Assembly,” the annual state publication listing all changes made to the Code of Virginia in that year. Unfortunately, the 1952 “Acts” aren’t available online. It has been modified 1 time. Those modifications are cataloged by “The Acts of Assembly,” a state publication, by year and chapter. Those modifications that can be read on the General Assembly’s website will be linked accordingly. That modification is as follows: in 1986, chapter 562.
1952, c. 317, § 38.1-672; 1986, c. 562.
