When two or more insurers propose to issue an underwriter’s policy, each insurer shall first file an application with the commissioner for approval and registration of the name or title under which the policy is to be issued. The commissioner may reject any name submitted when it is an interference with, or too similar to, one already appropriated or when it is likely to mislead the public in any respect. In that case the application may be amended to submit another or other names.

The commissioner shall charge and collect in advance a fee of seventy-two dollars ($72) from each insurer filing an application for approval and registration of that name or title, or for filing any amendment thereto.
