§ 27-1-9. Examinations to ascertain market value of securities deposited - Deficiencies. Whenever it becomes necessary, on application of any company, for the general treasurer or any person appointed by the general treasurer to examine and ascertain the value and condition of any stocks or other securities deposited with the general treasurer by any insurance company, the expenses of the examination shall be borne by the company applying, and the general treasurer shall be allowed to charge for his or her time and expense or for the time and expense of the person the general treasurer shall appoint to make the examination; the examination shall be made annually by the general treasurer.
