(1) Assessments may be levied against the subscribers of a domestic assessable reciprocal in accordance with Section 83-33-29.

(2) Any assessment levied against the subscribers of a domestic assessable reciprocal shall treat all subscribers equally in that each subscriber’s assessment shall be at the same multiple of the subscriber’s policies’ individual earned premium for the period covered by the assessment. However, no assessment shall exceed the aggregate contingent assessment liability computed in accordance with Section 83-33-29. For the purposes of this section, the premiums earned on the subscriber’s policies are the gross premiums charged by the reciprocal for the policies, minus any charges not recurring upon the renewal or extension of the policies. No subscriber shall have an offset against any assessment for which the subscriber is liable on account of any claim for unearned premium or losses payable.

(3) Every subscriber of a domestic reciprocal having contingent assessment liability shall be liable for and shall pay the subscriber’s share of any assessment computed in accordance with this section if, while such policy is in force, or within three (3) years after its termination, the subscriber is notified:

(a) By the reciprocal or the attorney of the reciprocal’s intention to levy an assessment; or

(b) That delinquency proceedings have been instituted against the reciprocal under this title and the department or receiver intends to levy an assessment.
