Sec. 35. (a) A farm mutual insurance company that operates on a premium plus assessment basis must pay losses and judgments of the farm mutual insurance company from premiums received or amounts collected on promissory notes. The amount:
(1) deducted from a policyholder's premium paid; or
(2) demanded from a policyholder's promissory note;
must bear the same relationship to the total loss as the policyholder's total premium bears to the total premiums collected in the calendar year that the loss is incurred.
(b) If funds collected under subsection (a) are insufficient to cover a loss or judgment, the directors of the farm mutual insurance company may, subject to the limitation set forth in the farm mutual insurance company's bylaws under section 30 of this chapter, assess each policyholder in the same manner. However, a farm mutual insurance company may not assess policyholders more than one (1) time in a calendar year for losses incurred by the farm mutual insurance company.
