abstract of the annual statement for publication on the form prescribed by the commissioner.
The abstract of the annual statement of each company, other than a state or county mutual
insurance company, must be published at least three times in a newspaper of general
circulation and evenly distributed for publication across all newspapers operating in the judicial
district. The abstract of the annual statement of each state or county mutual insurance company
must be published once in a newspaper published in the county in which the company has its
principal place of business, the newspaper to be designated by the members of the company at
their annual meeting. The certificate of authority issued by the commissioner to authorize the
company to do business within this state must be published in connection with the publication of
the abstract of its annual statement. The fees for publication are those provided under section
46-05-03. Proof of publication must be filed with the commissioner within four months after the
filing of the annual statement. The commissioner shall provide abstracts, in a convenient form,
on the commissioner's website.
