After such publication the commissioner of insurance shall authorize the release of the securities held under K.S.A. 40-229a, if the commissioner, upon the commissioner's own examination or the examination of some competent, disinterested person or persons appointed by the commissioner, is satisfied with the exhibition of the books and papers of the company.

The commissioner of insurance may also from time to time authorize the release to such company or its assigns any portion of its securities, on being satisfied that an equal proportion of the debts and liabilities of every kind that are due or may become due has been satisfied. The amount of securities retained by the commissioner shall be not less than twice the amount of remaining liabilities.
