A prepaid dental plan organization shall not issue or deliver any advertising matter or sales material to any person in this state until the prepaid dental plan organization files the advertising matter or sales material with the director. This section does not require a prepaid dental plan to have the prior approval of the director to issue or deliver the advertising matter or sale material. If the director finds that the advertising matter or sales material, in whole or in part, is false, deceptive or misleading, the director may issue an order disapproving the advertising matter or sales material, directing the prepaid dental plan organization to cease and desist from issuing, circulating, displaying or using the advertising matter or sales material within a period of time specified by the director but not less than ten days and imposing any penalties prescribed in this title. At least five days before issuing an order pursuant to this section, the director shall provide the prepaid dental plan organization with a written notice of the basis of the order to provide the prepaid dental plan organization with an opportunity to cure the alleged deficiency in the advertising matter or sales material within a single five day period for the particular advertising matter or sales material at issue. The prepaid dental plan organization may appeal the director's order pursuant to title 41, chapter 6, article 10. Except as otherwise provided in this section, a prepaid dental plan organization may obtain a stay of the effectiveness of the order as prescribed in section 20-162. If the director certifies in the order and provides a detailed explanation of the reasons in support of the certification that continued use of the advertising matter or sales material poses a threat to the health, safety or welfare of the public, the order may be entered immediately without opportunity for cure and the effectiveness of the order is not stayed pending the hearing on the notice of appeal but the hearing shall be promptly instituted and determined.
