Any insurance policy terminating by its terms at a specified expiration date and not otherwise renewable may be renewed or extended at the option of the insurer and upon a currently authorized policy form and at the premium rate then required for renewal or extension for a specific additional period or periods by certificate or by endorsement of the policy and without requiring the issuance of a new policy.
(Code 1933, § 56-2422, enacted by Ga. L. 1960, p. 289, § 1.)
