695A.280  Reinsurance.

      1.  Except as otherwise provided in subsection 3, a domestic society may, by a reinsurance agreement, cede any individual risk or risks in whole or in part to an insurer, other than another fraternal benefit society, authorized to provide reinsurance in this state, or if not so authorized, one which is approved in writing by the Commissioner, but no such society may reinsure substantially all of its insurance in force without the written permission of the Commissioner.

      2.  A society may take credit for the reserves on such ceded risks to the extent reinsured, but no credit may be allowed as an admitted asset or as a deduction from liability to a ceding society for reinsurance made, ceded, renewed or otherwise becoming effective after July 1, 1963, unless the reinsurance is payable by the assuming insurer on the basis of the liability of the ceding society under the benefit contract or contracts reinsured without diminution because of the insolvency of the ceding society.

      3.  A society may reinsure the risks of another society in a consolidation or merger which is approved by the Commissioner pursuant to NRS 695A.130.
