Any corporation heretofore or hereafter organized and operating under Chapter 11, Title 79, Mississippi Code of 1972, desiring to become a nonprofit corporation of the kind and character described in this chapter, and to operate under and pursuant to the terms of this chapter, may convert its organization into such nonprofit corporation under this chapter in the following manner, to wit:

(a) File a written application with the commissioner of insurance annexing thereto copies of (i) its articles of incorporation or new or amended articles of incorporation; (ii) its bylaws; (iii) its form of contract between the corporation and members, showing the terms under which medical liability insurance is to be furnished to members; (iv) its contracts with members, showing a table of assessments and the benefits to which members are entitled; and (v) a financial statement of the corporation, including the amounts of contributions paid or agreed to be paid to the corporation for working capital, the name or names of each contributor, and the terms of each contribution.

(b) Submit any further data or evidence as may be required by the commissioner.

(c) The commissioner shall refer the corporation’s articles of incorporation to the attorney general for his opinion as to whether the same meet the requirements of this chapter. The attorney general shall, if in order to do so, endorse his approval thereon and return the same to the commissioner of insurance. The commissioner shall thereupon endorse upon said articles of incorporation his certificate of approval, whereupon said corporation shall be deemed to be converted under and existing and operating pursuant to the terms of this chapter. The articles of incorporation bearing such approval of the attorney general and the commissioner shall be recorded in the offices of the commissioner of insurance and of the secretary of state in like manner as in this chapter provided for recording the articles of incorporation of a corporation organized under this chapter in the first instance.
