The Commissioner shall, annually, at the earliest practicable date

after returns are received from the several authorized insurers and

other organizations, make a report to the Governor of the affairs of

the office of the Commissioner, which report shall contain a tabular

statement and synopsis of the several statements, as accepted by the

Commissioner, which shall include with respect to each insurance

company the admitted assets, liabilities except capital, capital and

surplus, Oklahoma premium income, amount of claims paid in Oklahoma

and such other matters as may be of benefit to the public.

The Commissioner may educate consumers and make recommendations

regarding the subject of insurance in this state, and shall set

forth in a statement the various sums received and disbursed by the

Department, from and to whom and for what purpose. Such report

shall be published by and subject to the order of the Commissioner.

The Commissioner shall, upon retiring from office, deliver to the

qualified successor all furniture, records, papers and property of

the office.
