kFOGG, Judge.
This action for declaratory judgment involves a dispute between a regulatory agency and a regulated entity over the meaning of a term in a statute. The issue raised on appeal is whether LSA-R.S. 22:215.121 of the Insurance Code is applicable to new enrollees of group insurance policies, when their effective date of coverage is on or after January 1, 1993, and the group master policies were issued and delivered before January 1, 1993. Resolution of that issue turns on whether the application of the doctrine of contemporaneous construction should be applied to LSA-R.S. 22:215.12.
