If the necessary number of applications is obtained, the insurer may do business in this state if the commissioner finds such admission is in the public interest. Thereafter the insurer shall make all reports and be subject to taxation, examination, and supervision by the commissioner to the same extent and in the same manner as are other foreign or alien insurers.
