The annual statement made to the commissioner pursuant to this section or other provisions of said references shall at least include the substance of that which is required by what is known as the convention blank form adopted from year to year by the national association of insurance commissioners, including any instructions, procedures, and guidelines not in conflict with any provision of this title for completing the convention blank form. (2) The commissioner may require any insurance company authorized to do business in this state to submit interim financial statements and reports on a monthly or quarterly basis in such form as he prescribes, as deemed necessary in the public interest. (3) Each domestic, foreign, and alien insurer that is authorized to transact the business of insurance in this state shall on or before March 1 of each year file with the national association of insurance commissioners a copy of its annual statement convention blank, along with such additional filings as prescribed by the commissioner for the preceding year.
