33-22-232. Renewal at option of insurer. (1) Except as provided in subsection (2), disability insurance policies, other than accident insurance only policies, in which the insurer reserves the right to refuse renewal must provide the statement in a policy provision, an endorsement, or an attached rider. The statement must provide that, subject to the insurer's right to terminate the policy upon nonpayment of premium when due, the right to refuse renewal may not be exercised so as to take effect before the renewal date occurring on or after and nearest each policy anniversary or, in the case of lapse and reinstatement, at the renewal date occurring on or after and nearest each anniversary of the last reinstatement and that any refusal of renewal must be without prejudice to any claim originating while the policy is in force. The reference to lapse and reinstatement may be omitted at the insurer's option.

(2) Policies conforming to this section are subject to the guaranteed renewability provisions of 33-22-247 or 33-22-524.
