The superintendent shall, within a reasonable time after the filing of any such form, notify the organization filing the form either of the approval or of the disapproval of the form.

If the superintendent determines those chapters to be inapplicable, either in part or in their entirety, the superintendent may prescribe the portions or summary of the contract to be printed on the certificate issued to the subscriber.
