The administrator shall provide the notice before coverage is issued to an applicant and shall give the applicant the opportunity to decline the coverage.

(c) If a risk pool cancels or does not renew excess loss coverage or reinsurance, the administrator shall give notice to each person covered by the pool that the coverage has been canceled or has not been renewed and shall give each an opportunity to cancel his coverage. The administrator must give the notice and opportunity to cancel coverage not later than the 30th day after the date on which the pool cancels or does not renew the excess loss coverage or reinsurance.
