Section 12370.

Every title insurer shall annually set apart a sum equal to 10 percent of its premiums collected during the year. Such sums shall be allowed to accumulate until a fund is created equal in amount to 25 percent of the aggregate of the subscribed capital stock of the insurer, or one million dollars ($1,000,000), whichever is the lower amount. After the establishment by a title insurer of an unearned premium reserve, pursuant to Article 3.5 (commencing with Section 12380) of this chapter, such amount shall be reduced by the aggregate amount which shall be set aside and maintained by such insurer in such unearned premium reserve. Such fund shall be known as the "title insurance surplus fund."
