The Insurance Commissioner shall not issue a certificate of authority to any domestic insurer incorporated after January 1, 1970, unless each of the shareholders of the common capital stock thereof is entitled at the shareholders meetings to one vote for each share standing in his name in the books of the corporation. The Insurance Commissioner shall act upon an application for a certificate of authority within thirty (30) days after its completion.
B. The certificate, if issued, shall specify the kind or kinds of insurance the insurer is authorized to transact in Oklahoma. At the insurer's request, the Insurance Commissioner may issue a certificate of authority limited to particular types of insurance included within a kind of insurance as defined in this code.
