(4) Upon reinstatement of the insurer's certificate of authority, the authority of its insurance producers in this state to represent the insurer is reinstated.

(5) The commissioner shall forthwith notify both the insurer and its insurance producers in this state, as shown by the commissioner's records, of the reinstatement.
