(a) When the Insurance Commissioner upon investigation finds that a foreign or alien society transacting or applying to transact business in this state:
(1) Has exceeded its powers;
(2) Has failed to comply with any of the provisions of this chapter;
(3) Is not fulfilling its contracts in good faith; or
(4) Is conducting its business fraudulently or in a manner hazardous to its members or creditors or the public,
the commissioner shall notify the society of the deficiency or deficiencies and state in writing the reasons for his or her dissatisfaction. The commissioner shall at once issue a written notice to the society requiring that the deficiency or deficiencies which exist be corrected. After the 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 license should not be suspended, revoked, or refused. If on such a 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 refused, the commissioner may suspend or refuse the license of the society to do business in this state until satisfactory evidence is furnished to the commissioner that the suspension or refusal should be withdrawn or the commissioner may revoke the authority of the society to do business in this state.
(b) Nothing contained in this section shall be taken or construed as preventing any such society from continuing in good faith all contracts made in this state during the time the society was legally authorized to transact business as provided in this chapter.
