R.I. Gen. Laws § 27-1-9
Whenever it becomes necessary, on application of any company, for the general treasurer or any person appointed by the general treasurer to examine and ascertain the value and condition of any stocks or other securities deposited with the general treasurer by any insurance company, the expenses of the examination shall be borne by the company applying, and the general treasurer shall be allowed to charge for his or her time and expense or for the time and expense of the person the general treasurer shall appoint to make the examination; the examination shall be made annually by the general treasurer. In case it appears at any time that the stocks or other securities deposited in this manner amount to less than the sum required for the purposes for which the deposit has been made, the general treasurer shall notify the company, and unless the deficiency is made up within thirty (30) days, the general treasurer shall countermand all of the certificates he or she may have issued and notify the treasurer, comptroller, or other financial officer of the states to which the general treasurer has transmitted his or her certificate, and shall, as soon as possible, publish notice of his or her actions in one newspaper published in the city of Providence for three (3) weeks.
