(a) When a fraternal benefit society has complied with the provisions of this chapter and with the laws of this state relating to domestic stock life insurers or domestic mutual life insurers, as the case may be, and has received from the commissioner a certificate of authority to transact business in this state, its reorganization and conversion into such stock insurer or mutual insurer shall be complete.
