(a)(1) Except as provided in subsection (e) of this section, the insurer shall give either a written notice of nonrenewal or an offer of renewal at least thirty (30) days before the expiration of the policy's existing term.

(2)(A) The insurer shall send the insured a written notice and the insurance producer written or electronic notice of the offer of renewal under subdivision (a)(1) of this section.

(B) The notice required under subdivision (a)(2)(A) of this section shall:

(i) State the new premium for the renewal policy; and

(ii) Provide a description of any change in deductible or policy provisions in the renewal policy.

(b)(1) This section does not apply in case of nonpayment of premium.

(2) However, notwithstanding the failure of an insurer to comply with this section, the policy shall terminate on the effective date of any other insurance policy with respect to any automobile designated in both policies.

(c) Unless a statement of the grounds for nonrenewal accompanies or is included in the notice of nonrenewal, the notice of nonrenewal shall state or be accompanied by a statement that the insurer shall specify the grounds for the nonrenewal upon written request of the named insured if the request is mailed or delivered to the insurer not less than fifteen (15) days before the effective date of the nonrenewal.

(d) Renewal of a policy does not constitute a waiver or estoppel with respect to grounds for cancellation that existed before the effective date of the renewal.
