TITLE 26 - INSURANCE CODE
CHAPTER 3 - AUTHORIZATION OF INSURERS AND GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
26-3-118. Suspension, revocation of certification of authority; duration of suspension; reinstatement.

(a) Suspension of an insurer's certificate of authority shall be for the period the commissioner specifies in the order of suspension, but not to exceed one (1) year. During the suspension period the commissioner may rescind or shorten the suspension by further order.

(b) During the suspension period the insurer shall not solicit or write any new business in this state but shall file its annual statement, pay fees, licenses and taxes as required under this code and may service its business already in force in this state as if the certificate of authority had continued in full force.

(c) Upon expiration of the suspension period, if within that period the certificate of authority has not terminated, the insurer's certificate of authority is automatically reinstated unless the commissioner finds that the causes of the suspension, other than a discontinued violation, have not terminated, or that the insurer is otherwise not in compliance with the requirements of this code, and of which the commissioner shall give the insurer notice not less than thirty (30) days in advance of expiration of the suspension period. If not automatically reinstated, the certificate of authority terminates at the end of the suspension period.

(d) Upon reinstatement of the insurer's certificate of authority, the authority of its agents in this state to represent the insurer also reinstate. The commissioner shall promptly notify the insurer and its agents in this state, of record in the department, of reinstatement. If pursuant to W.S. 26-3-117(c) the commissioner has published notice of suspension of the insurer's certificate of authority, he shall also publish notice of reinstatement.
