If the commissioner finds that any risk is unreasonably hazardous, the commissioner may require the board or officer having control of the risk to make any improvements or changes necessary to remove the extra hazard. If the board or agency fails to make the improvements or changes within six months after the demand by the commissioner, the commissioner may cancel the insurance on the renewal upon thirty days’ notice. No cancellation may be made by the commissioner without the approval of the industrial commission. If a dispute arises between the commissioner and the board or official having control of the risk, either as to the insurability thereof or as to the compliance by the board or officer with the requirements of the commissioner, the dispute must be submitted to a board of arbitration as provided in section 26.1-22-11 and the decision of the board of arbitration is binding on both parties. If the insurance on any risk is canceled as provided in this section, the board or officer in charge of the risk may procure insurance from any authorized insurance company, and the premium is a proper charge against the state, state industry, or political subdivision owning the property.
