Official statutory text

Except as in this article (commencing with Section 1370) otherwise provides, every exchange subject to this chapter (commencing with Section 1280) shall on and after October 1, 1961, be governed for all purposes as to required minimum surplus, (including that for admission, amendment of certificate of authority and solvency) by the same standards for minimum paid-in capital and surplus applicable to capital stock insurers. As used in this chapter surplus of an exchange is the amount by which its assets exceed a sum sufficient to discharge all its liabilities. When the standard prescribed for capital stock insurers consists of an amount of minimum paid-in capital the minimum surplus required of the exchange shall be such amount, and when the standard prescribed for capital stock insurers consists of an amount of minimum paid-in capital and an amount of surplus the minimum surplus required of the exchange shall be the aggregate of such amounts.

This section shall not affect the provisions of Section 1401.
