The director or his designee may, by written order, temporarily expand the area in which the association must provide essential property insurance. The area may not be expanded further inland than east of the west bank of the intracoastal waterway and may not be expanded to cover the area for more than twelve months. If the director or his designee issues an order that expands the area in which the association provides essential property insurance, he shall notify the General Assembly of that order and he shall recommend, through the Director of the Department of Insurance, to the General Assembly any appropriate statutory changes in the law concerning the definition of "coastal area" which he believes needs to be enacted.
