D. An insurer shall not issue a motor vehicle insurance policy in this state unless the cancellation and renewal conditions of the policy or the endorsement on the policy includes the limitations required by this section. After a policy issued in this state has been in effect for sixty days, or if the policy is a renewal, effective immediately, the company shall not exercise its right to cancel the insurance afforded under the policy unless:

4. 4. The insurer is placed in rehabilitation or receivership by the insurance supervisory official in its state of domicile or by a court of competent jurisdiction or the director has suspended the insurer's certificate of authority based on its financially hazardous condition.
5. 5. The named insured, any person who resides in the same household as the named insured and who customarily operates a motor vehicle insured under the policy or any other person who regularly and frequently operates a motor vehicle insured under the policy uses a motor vehicle rated or insured under the policy as a private passenger motor vehicle regularly and frequently for commercial purposes.

6. 6. The named insured, any person who resides in the same household as the named insured and who customarily operates a motor vehicle insured under the policy or any other person who regularly and frequently operates a motor vehicle insured under the policy uses a motor vehicle rated or insured under the policy to provide transportation network services unless, while the driver is logged in to the transportation network company's digital network or software application to be a driver or is providing transportation network services, the named insured either:

   1. (a) Has procured an endorsement to the private passenger policy that expressly provides such coverage.
   2. (b) Is covered by a motor vehicle liability insurance policy issued by another insurer expressly providing such coverage.
7. 7. The director determines that the continuation of the policy would place the insurer in violation of the laws of this state or would jeopardize the solvency of the insurer.

G. This article does not apply to any policy that has been in effect less than sixty days at the time notice of cancellation is mailed or delivered by the insurer unless the policy is a renewal policy, or to policies:

1. 1. Insuring any motor vehicle other than a private passenger motor vehicle as defined in section 20-117.
2. 2. Insuring the motor vehicle hazard of garages, motor vehicle sales agencies, repair shops, service stations or public parking places.
3. 3. Providing insurance only on an excess basis.

I. Subsection H of this section does not apply if one or more of the following conditions exist:

1. 1. The insurance producer of record has had its license suspended or revoked by the department.
2. 2. The insurance producer of record is indebted to the insurer.
3. 3. The insured has supplied the insurer with a written request that its insurance producer of record be changed to another insurance producer of the insurer.
4. 4. The insurance producer of record has authorized transfer of this account to another licensed insurance producer of the insurer.

6. 6. The insurance producer of record is under an exclusive contract or contract requiring the insurance producer to submit all eligible business to an insurer or group of insurers under a common management.

K. Notwithstanding any law to the contrary, if an insurer chooses to renew a policy, the issuance at renewal of revised policy provisions to modify an existing policy by adding coverages or policy provisions, modifying coverages or policy provisions or eliminating coverages or policy provisions is not a nonrenewal or cancellation of the policy if the modification of a basic coverage does not eliminate the essential benefit of that basic coverage. If the modification of the basic coverage eliminates the essential benefit of the basic coverage, the director shall order the insurer to remove the modification from the policy. This subsection does not allow the insurer, without the written consent of the insured, to eliminate the basic coverages of the policy or to reduce the monetary limits of any of the basic coverages of the policy that were selected and agreed on. If an insurer chooses to renew a policy, this subsection does not limit a policyholder from continuing to renew uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage pursuant to section 20-259.01. For the purposes of this subsection, "basic coverage" means any of the following:

1. 1. Bodily injury coverage.
2. 2. Property damage coverage.
3. 3. Uninsured motorist coverage.
4. 4. Underinsured motorist coverage.
5. 5. Medical payments coverage.
6. 6. Comprehensive coverage.
7. 7. Collision coverage.

M. Except as provided in this subsection, an insurer shall not refuse to renew a policy, based on an insured's failure to maintain membership in a bona fide association, until both the insurer and bona fide association have complied with this subsection and shall not refuse to renew any coverage continuously in effect before September 1, 1998, subject to all the following:

1. 1. In addition to any other reason provided in this section, an insurer may refuse to renew an insurance policy issued pursuant to this article if all of the following conditions apply:

   1. (a) The insurer clearly discloses to the applicant and the insured in the application for insurance and insurance policy that both the payment of dues and current membership in the bona fide association are prerequisites to obtaining or renewing the insurance.

   2. (b) Any money paid to the bona fide association as a membership fee:

      1. (i) Is not used by the insurer directly or indirectly to defray any costs or expenses in connection with the sale or purchase of the insurance.
      2. (ii) Is set independently of any factor used by the insurer to make any judgment or determination about the eligibility of any individual, including the member, an employee of a member or a dependent of a member, to purchase or renew the insurance.
   3. (c) The bona fide association has filed a certification with the director verifying the eligibility of the insurer to refuse to renew an insurance policy based on membership in the bona fide association.

2. 2. To qualify as a bona fide association pursuant to this subsection, the association shall meet all of the requirements of this paragraph. The association shall file a statement with the director at least thirty days before the commencement of the offer or sale of insurance as provided by this subsection verifying that the association meets the requirements of this paragraph. The association shall update the filing required by this paragraph at least thirty days before the effective date of any material change in the information contained in the statement and shall file a separate notice with the director if the insurance described in the statement is no longer available through the association. The statement shall include the following information:

   1. (a) That the association has been in active existence for at least five consecutive years immediately before the filing of the statement.
   2. (b) That the association has been formed and maintained in good faith for purposes other than obtaining or providing insurance and does not condition membership in the association on the purchase of insurance.
   3. (c) That the association has articles of incorporation and bylaws or other similar governing documents.
   4. (d) That the association does not condition membership in the association or set membership fees on the eligibility of any individual, including the member, an employee of the member or a dependent of the member, to purchase or renew the insurance, or on any factor that the insurer could not lawfully consider when setting rates.
   5. (e) That the association has a relationship with a specific insurer or insurers and identifies the insurer or insurers.

3. 3. Membership fees collected by the bona fide association are not premiums of the insurer that issued the coverage unless the bona fide association:

   1. (a) Uses any portion of the membership fees directly or indirectly to defray any costs or expenses in connection with the sale or purchase of the insurance.
   2. (b) Sets or adjusts membership fees for any member of the bona fide association based on any factor used by the insurer that issues the insurance to make any judgment or determination about the eligibility of any individual, including the member, an employee of the member or a dependent of the member, to purchase or renew the insurance.
4. 4. If the membership fees constitute premiums pursuant to paragraph 3 of this subsection, an insurer shall not refuse to renew a policy as otherwise allowed by this subsection.
