carrier of property until there is filed with the department proof
of financial responsibility in the form of a currently effective
certificate of insurance, issued by a company licensed to write that
insurance in this state or by a nonadmitted insurer subject to
Section 1763 of the Insurance Code, if the policy represented by the
