Sec. 6. (a) No insurer shall fail to renew a policy unless it shall mail or deliver to the named insured, at the address shown in the policy, at least twenty (20) days advance notice of its intention not to renew. In the event such policy was procured by an insurance producer duly licensed by the state of Indiana notice of intent not to renew 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.

(b) This section shall not apply:

(1) if the insurer has manifested its willingness to renew; or

(2) in case of nonpayment of premium.

However, notwithstanding the failure of an insurer to comply with this section, the policy shall terminate on the effective date of any other insurance policy with respect to any automobile designated in both policies.

(c) A notice of intention not to renew is not required if:

(1) the insured is transferred from an insurer to an affiliate of the insurer for future coverage; and

(2) the transfer results in the same or broader coverage.

(d) Renewal of a policy shall not constitute a waiver or estoppel with respect to grounds for cancellation which existed before the effective date of such renewal.
