Upon the request of any domestic insurance company, the state treasurer may return to the company the whole or any portion of the securities of the company, when the state treasurer is satisfied that the securities so asked to be returned are subject to no liability, and not required to be longer held by any law or purpose of the original deposit. The state treasurer may return to the trustees or other representatives, authorized for that purpose, of a foreign insurance company, any deposit made by the company, when it appears that the company has ceased to do business in the state, and is under no obligations to policyholders or other persons in the state or in the United States, for whose benefit the deposit was made.
