To cancel or terminate an insurance policy with an employer before the expiration date stated in the policy, the carrier shall give the employer thirty (30) days prior notice as provided in Miss. Code Ann. Section 71-3-77 of the Act. The employer whose policy has been canceled or terminated per Miss. Code Ann.
