HRS §431:4-422

Who can lend money to a reciprocal insurer and when it can be paid back

This section lets an attorney or other parties give money to a reciprocal insurer when it needs funds. That money is not a debt, and it can only be paid back from the insurer's extra profits, with the insurance commissioner's approval.

The statute, as written — Contributions of surplus

The attorney or other parties may advance to the reciprocal insurer funds as it may require from time to time in its operations. Sums so advanced shall not be treated as a liability of the insurer, and shall not be withdrawn or repaid except out of the insurer's realized earned surplus in excess of its minimum required surplus. No such withdrawal or repayment shall be made without the advance approval of the commissioner.
