1. If the commissioner finds that a filing does not meet the requirements of this chapter, written notice of disapproval shall be sent to the county mutual insurance association specifying in what respect the filing fails to meet the requirements of this chapter and stating that the filing is not effective. If a filing is disapproved by the commissioner, the association may request a hearing on the disapproval within thirty days. The association bears the burden of proving compliance with the standards established by this chapter.

2. If, at any time after a form has been approved, the commissioner finds that the form no longer meets the requirements of this chapter, the commissioner may order the discontinuance of the use of the form. The order of discontinuance shall be in writing and may be issued only after a hearing with at least ten days' prior notice to all county mutuals affected by the order. The order shall state the grounds upon which the order is based and when the order of discontinuance is effective.
