(a) The Commissioner shall prepare and keep such records of all “registered” policies and bonds as will enable him or her to ascertain the reserve required thereon at any time according to the method and basis of valuation prescribed in §§ 1111-1113 of this title. Upon sufficient proof, attested by the president or vice-president and secretary of an insurer which has issued such “registered” policies or bonds, that any of them have been commuted or terminated, the Commissioner shall commute or cancel them upon his or her records.
(b) On December 31 in every year, or within 60 days thereafter, the Commissioner shall cause the registered policies and bonds in force in each insurer to be carefully valued and the net reserve thereon ascertained according to the method and basis of valuation prescribed in §§ 1111-1113 of this title, and he or she shall thereupon furnish a certificate of the aggregate amount of such reserve to the respective insurers. The Commissioner may employ a competent actuary to make such computation, who shall be paid by the insurer for which the services are rendered, or the Commissioner may accept the computations of any of the insurers upon such proof as he or she may determine.
