Every transferring insurer shall file new policy forms with the Commissioner of Insurance on or before the effective date of the transfer, but may use existing policy forms with appropriate endorsements if allowed by, and under such conditions as approved by, the Commissioner of Insurance. However, every such transferring insurer shall notify the Commissioner of Insurance of the details of the proposed transfer, and shall file promptly, any resulting amendments to corporate documents filed or required to be filed with the Commissioner of Insurance.
