(2)

As part of the notification required by subsection (1) of this section, the commissioner shall at once issue a written notice to the society requiring that the deficiency or deficiencies which exist be corrected. After such notice, the society shall have a thirty-day period in which to comply with the commissioner’s request for correction, and, if the society fails to comply, the commissioner shall notify the society of such findings of noncompliance and require the society to show cause on a date named why its certificate of authority should not be suspended, revoked, or denied. If on such date the society does not present good and sufficient reason why its authority to do business in this state should not be suspended, revoked, or denied, the commissioner may suspend or deny the certificate of authority of the society to do business in this state until satisfactory evidence is furnished to the commissioner that such suspension or denial should be withdrawn, or the commissioner may revoke the authority of the society to do business in this state.

(3)

Nothing contained in this section shall be taken or construed as preventing any foreign or alien society from continuing in good faith all contracts made in this state during the time such society was legally authorized to transact business in this state.
