The General Assembly of North Carolina do enact:

 

Section 1. Chapter 402 of the Session Laws of 1953, as amended, is hereby further amended by inserting a new Section therein immediately following Section 4, to be designated as Section 4½, and to read as follows:

"Sec. 4½. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Act, the executive board shall have authority to make an assessment from time to time in an equal amount against each and every member of the Association when the funds of the Association are inadequate to carry on and continue the program of protection and benefits which the Association undertakes or has undertaken pursuant to this Act. Immediately upon making any such assessment, written notice thereof shall be given to each member by personal delivery thereof or by mailing the same to his last known address. If a member fails to pay any assessment within thirty (30) days from the date the same was made, a second notice shall be delivered or mailed to him. If a member shall fail to pay any assessment within six months after the date the assessment was made, regardless of whether or not he has received notice thereof, he shall thereupon cease to have any right to any benefits available pursuant to this Act, and no one shall be entitled to any benefits by reason of such delinquent member's membership, unless and until such member's dues and assessments which are in arrears have been paid, and, even in such case, only to the extent and subject to the conditions determined by the executive board."

Sec. 2. All laws and clauses of laws in conflict with this Act are hereby repealed.

Sec. 3. This Act shall be in full force and effect on and after its ratification.

In the General Assembly read three times and ratified, this the 27th day of February, 1959.
