(1)
(2)
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,
having the power to make reinsurance and authorized to do business in this state, or
if not so authorized, one (1) which is approved by the commissioner; but no society
may reinsure substantially all of its insurance in force without the written
permission of the commissioner. It may take credit for the reserves on the ceded
risks to the extent reinsured; but no credit shall 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 January 1, 1989, unless the
reinsurance is payable by the assuming insurer on the basis of the liability of the
ceding society under the contract or contracts reinsured without diminution because
of the insolvency of the ceding society.
Notwithstanding the limitation in subsection (1) of this section, a society may
reinsure the risks of another society in a consolidation or merger approved by the
commissioner under KRS 304.29-141.
