(1) A domestic insurer may not knowingly solicit insurance business in any reciprocating state in which it is not then licensed as an authorized insurer.

(2) This section does not prohibit advertising through publication and radio, television, and other broadcasts originating outside the reciprocating state if the insurer is licensed in a majority of the states in which the advertising is disseminated and if the advertising is not specifically directed to residents of the reciprocating state.

(3) This section does not prohibit insurance, covering persons or risks located in a reciprocating state, under contracts solicited and issued in states in which the insurer is then licensed. This section does not prohibit insurance effectuated by the insurer as an unauthorized insurer in accordance with the laws of the reciprocating state.

(4) A reciprocating state, as used in this section, is one under the laws of which a similar prohibition is imposed upon and enforced against insurers domiciled in that state.

(5) The commissioner shall suspend or revoke the certificate of authority of a domestic insurer found by the commissioner, after a hearing, to have violated this section.
