If an insurance carrier has certified a motor vehicle liability policy under § 32-35-65 or 32-35-66, a written notice indicating the date of cancellation or termination of the insurance so certified shall be filed with the Department of Public Safety within fifteen days of the date the policy has been cancelled or terminated. A violation of this provision is a Class 2 misdemeanor. However, a policy subsequently procured and certified shall, on the effective date of its certification, terminate the insurance previously certified with respect to any vehicle designated in both certificates.
