(a) Suspension of an insurer's certificate of authority shall be for such period as is fixed by the commissioner in the order of suspension, but not to exceed one year from the date of suspension, unless the commissioner shortens or rescinds such suspension or the order upon which the suspension is based is modified, rescinded, or reversed.
(b) During the period of suspension the insurer shall file its annual statement, pay fees, licenses and taxes as required under this title as if the certificate had continued in full force, and it may service its outstanding policies and adjust losses thereunder.
(c) Upon expiration of the suspension period, if within such period the certificate of authority has not otherwise terminated, the insurer's certificate of authority shall automatically reinstate unless the commissioner finds that the causes of the suspension have not been removed or that the insurer is otherwise not in compliance with the requirements of this title, of which the commissioner shall give the insurer notice not less than 30 days in advance of the expiration of the suspension period. If not so automatically reinstated, the certificate of authority shall be deemed to have expired as of the end of the suspension period or upon failure of the insurer to continue the certificate during the suspension period, whichever event first occurs.
(d) Upon reinstatement of the insurer's certificate of authority, the authority of its agents in this state to represent the insurer shall likewise reinstate. The commissioner shall promptly notify the insurer and its agents in this state of record in the department of such reinstatement.
