1. An insurer may terminate an appointment at any time. The insurer shall promptly give written notice of termination and the effective date thereof to the Commissioner, on forms furnished by the Commissioner, and to the bail agent if reasonably possible. The Commissioner may require of the insurer reasonable proof that the insurer has also given such a notice to the agent if reasonably possible.
2. Accompanying each notice of termination given to the Commissioner, the insurer shall file with the Commissioner a statement of the cause, if any, for the termination. Any information or documents so disclosed to the Commissioner shall be deemed an absolutely privileged communication, and the information or documents are not admissible as evidence in any action or proceedings unless their use as evidence is permitted by the insurer in writing.
3. A bail agent terminating the appointment and license as such of a bail solicitor shall give notice of termination in the manner prescribed by subsections 1 and 2. Any information or documents disclosed to the Commissioner shall be deemed an absolutely privileged communication, unless the privilege is waived in writing by the bail agent.
4. No agreement between an insurer and a bail agent or between an employing bail agent and a licensed bail solicitor affects the Commissioner’s termination of the appointment or license if the termination is requested by the insurer or the employing bail agent, as the case may be.
