A mutual insurance company not possessed of assets at least equal to its unearned premium reserve and other liabilities shall make an assessment upon its members liable to assessment to provide for the deficiency. The assessment must be made against each such member in proportion to the member's liability as expressed in the member's policy. The commissioner, however, may relieve the company, by written order, from any assessment or other proceedings to restore the assets during the time fixed in the order. The company shall record in a book kept for that purpose the order for the assessment and a statement setting forth the condition of the company at the date of the order, the amount of its cash assets and of the notes of its policyholders or of other contingent funds liable to the assessment, the amount of the assessment, and the particular losses or other liabilities for which the assessment is made. The record must be made and signed by the directors who voted for the order before any part of the assessment is collected, and any person liable for the assessment may inspect and take a copy of the record.
