Any county mutual insurance association may reinsure a part or all of its risks with any association operating under the provisions of this chapter, or with any other association or company licensed in this state and authorized to write the kinds of insurance enumerated in section 518.11.

The commissioner of insurance may require any county mutual insurance association to obtain reinsurance coverage as provided for in this section if it appears to the commissioner of insurance that the perils insured against and the classes of properties insured may seriously endanger the financial position of the association and the security of its members.

Reinsurance coverage obtained by a county mutual insurance association shall not expose the association to a loss of more than fifteen percent from surplus in any calendar year.
