(1) Any person in whose name more than twenty-five motor vehicles are registered may qualify as a self-insurer by obtaining a certificate of self-insurance issued by the commissioner.
(2) The commissioner may, in his or her discretion, upon the application of such person, issue a certificate of self-insurance when the commissioner is satisfied that such person is able and will continue to be able to pay benefits as required under section 10-4-620 and to pay any and all judgments that may be obtained against such person. Upon not less than five days' notice and a hearing pursuant to such notice, the commissioner may, upon reasonable grounds, cancel a certificate of self-insurance. Failure to pay any benefits under section 10-4-620 or failure to pay any judgment within thirty days after such judgment has become final shall constitute a reasonable ground for the cancellation of a certificate of self-insurance.
(3) For purposes of subsection (2) of this section, the commissioner shall accept, as proof that a motor carrier as defined in article 10.1 of title 40, C.R.S., is able and will continue to be able to pay all judgments that might be obtained against the carrier, a surety bond in a form acceptable to the commissioner in an amount determined by the commissioner sufficient to ensure that the carrier has the ability to pay all judgments that may be obtained against any such carrier.
