The plan of operation and any amendments thereto become effective upon approval in writing by the Commissioner, or 30 days after submission if the Commissioner has not disapproved them. All member insurers shall comply with the plan of operation.
2. If at any time the Association fails to submit suitable amendments to the plan, the Commissioner shall adopt, after notice and hearing, such reasonable regulations as are necessary or advisable to effectuate the provisions of this chapter. The regulations continue in force until modified by the Commissioner or superseded by a plan submitted by the Association and approved by the Commissioner.
