Before a benevolent association shall operate in this state it shall first incorporate in accordance with the laws of this state, and the articles of incorporation and bylaws shall be submitted to the commissioner. If the commissioner finds they conform to the requirements of the law and all rules and regulations promulgated under this chapter, the commissioner shall approve the articles of incorporation and file them with the secretary of state. Every benevolent association at the time of its incorporation shall submit its general plan of operation to the commissioner and if the commissioner finds it conforms to the requirements of the law and all reasonable rules and regulations promulgated under this chapter, the commissioner shall issue a license to expire on the first day of June after issuance.
The license shall be renewed from year to year upon application of the association, if the commissioner finds from examination that it has conformed to the requirements of all laws and regulations applicable thereto.
