(1) disapprove an insurance company's request for a certificate of authority, or amendment thereto; or
(2) otherwise restrict, as provided by law, a company's authority to transact business within this Commonwealth.

Before the Insurance Commissioner shall take any action as above set forth, he shall give written notice to the company stating specifically the nature of the proposed action and within thirty (30) days from the date of mailing of such notice to the company, such company may make written application to the Insurance Commissioner for a hearing thereon, and such hearing shall be held within thirty (30) days after receipt of such application.
