(1) An insured employer may cancel coverage with the insurer by giving the insurer at least 30 days’ written notice, unless a shorter period is permitted by subsection (3) of this section.
(2) Cancellation of coverage is effective at 12 midnight 30 days after the date the cancellation notice is received by an authorized representative of the insurer, unless a later date is specified.
