Nothing in this subsection prevents the Commissioner from using this information in furtherance of the regulatory authority of the Commissioner under the Oklahoma Captive Insurance Company Act. The Commissioner may grant access to this information to public officers having jurisdiction over the regulation of insurance in any other state or country, or to law enforcement officers of this state or any other state or agency of the federal government at any time, so long as the officers receiving the information agree in writing to hold it in a manner consistent with this section.
C. 1. This section applies to all business written by a captive insurance company; however, the examination for a branch
captive insurance company must be of branch business and branch operations only, as long as the branch captive insurance company provides annually to the Commissioner a certificate of compliance, or its equivalent, issued by or filed with the licensing authority of the jurisdiction in which the branch captive insurance company is formed and demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Commissioner that it is operating in sound financial condition in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations of that jurisdiction.
