The licensee shall promptly notify the Commissioner in writing of every change in its designated agent for service of process, and such change shall not become effective until acknowledged by the Commissioner. E. The Commissioner may refuse to issue a reinsurance intermediary license if, in the judgment of the Commissioner, the applicant, any one named on the application, or any member, principal, officer or director of the applicant, or that any controlling person of such applicant, is not trustworthy to act as a reinsurance intermediary, or that any of the foregoing has given cause for revocation or suspension of such license, or has failed to comply with any prerequisite for the issuance of such license. Upon written request therefor, the Commissioner shall furnish a summary of the basis for refusal to issue a license, which document shall be privileged and not subject to the Oklahoma Open Records Act.
