The purpose of this hearing shall be limited to establishing the existence of the proof or evidence given by the insurer in its reason for cancellation or intent not to renew. The burden of proof of the reason for cancellation or intent not to renew shall be upon the insurer. The superintendent shall have the authority to order that a policy continue in effect both pending and, if the superintendent finds in favor of the insured, subsequent to a hearing. If the superintendent finds in favor of the insurer at a hearing, the superintendent may order the policy to remain in force for 14 days to allow the insured to obtain other coverage. Acting in conformity with the Maine Administrative Procedure Act, Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter II, the superintendent may adopt rules for carrying out this section.
