Complaint being filed by any citizen of this state that any company authorized to do business in this state has violated any of the provisions of the insurance laws of Mississippi, the commissioner shall diligently investigate the matter and, if necessary, examine by himself or his accredited representatives at the head office located in the United States of America such officers or agents of such company as he may deem proper; also all books, records, and papers of the same, and also the officers thereof under oath, as to such alleged violation or violations. Before making any examinations which would require the commissioner to go to a foreign state, he shall require the party or parties making complaint to file with him a good and sufficient bond to secure any expense or costs that may be necessary in making such examination. In the event that the insurance company be found not guilty of a violation of said insurance laws by the commissioner, the said bond shall be responsible for all expenses incurred by reason of such investigation; but should such company be found guilty of a violation of such laws, then said company shall be responsible for the expense thereof.
