Sec. 5. No notice of cancellation of a policy to which section 4 of this chapter applies shall be effective unless mailed or delivered by the insurer to the named insured at least twenty (20) days prior to the effective date of cancellation; provided, however, that where cancellation is for nonpayment of premium at least ten (10) days notice of cancellation accompanied by the reason therefor shall be given. In the event such policy was procured by an insurance producer duly licensed by the state of Indiana, notice of intent to cancel shall be mailed or delivered to the insurance producer at least ten (10) days prior to such mailing or delivery to the named insured unless such notice of intent is or has been waived in writing by the insurance producer. Unless the reason accompanies or is included in the notice of cancellation, the notice of cancellation shall state or be accompanied by a statement that upon written request of the named insured, mailed or delivered to the insurer not less than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of cancellation, the insurer will specify the reason for such cancellation. This section shall not apply to nonrenewal.
