This chapter does not apply to the property of any township or school district located outside of the incorporated limits of a city unless the clerk of the township or business manager of the school district, at the direction of the board of township supervisors or the school board, files with the commissioner a written application for insurance and a request that the township or school district come under this chapter. To be effective, the application must be approved in writing by the commissioner.
