The agreement or amendment shall not be effective until and unless the agreement or amendment is approved by the commissioner; provided, however, that the agreement or amendment shall be deemed approved if the commissioner does not disapprove the agreement or amendment in writing within thirty (30) days after the reinsurer files a copy of the agreement or amendment with the commissioner. (f) The commissioner may approve a merger in which a limited credit life and credit accident insurance company is a constituent party without holding the otherwise required hearing on a merger of a limited credit life and credit accident and health reinsurer with another entity, unless the requirement of a hearing under § 56-10-104(b) applies to another party to the merger.
