No company shall issue or offer to issue variable annuities in this state until it has received a certificate of authority from the Director of Insurance to do so. The certificate of authority shall expire on the last day of April each year and shall be renewed annually if the company has continued to comply with the laws of this state and the rules and regulations adopted and promulgated by the director and the director has not issued an order suspending, revoking, or refusing to renew the company's certificate of authority.
