B. If not so continued by the insurer its certificate of authority shall expire at midnight on the date of failure of the insurer to continue it in force, unless earlier revoked as provided in Sections 59A-5-24 through 59A-5-26 NMSA 1978. C. Upon the insurer's request made within three months after expiration, the superintendent may reinstate a certificate of authority that the insurer inadvertently permitted to expire, after the insurer has fully cured all its failures that resulted in the expiration, and upon payment by the insurer of the fee for reinstatement specified in Section 59A-6-1 NMSA 1978. Otherwise the superintendent shall grant the insurer another certificate of authority only after filing an application therefor and meeting all other requirements as for an original certificate of authority in this state. D. If an insurer allows a certificate of authority issued by the superintendent to expire, the holder of the expired certificate shall remain subject to the provisions of the Insurance Code but is not authorized to transact any insurance business. If the insurer reinstates the expired certificate of authority within three months after expiration, the reinstatement shall relate back to the date of the expiration; provided that this shall not excuse any violation of the Insurance Code that occurred during the intervening period.
