(b) A list of its members and subscribers;
(c) The name and address of one or more residents of this state upon whom notices, process affecting it or orders of the commissioner may be served;

(e) Any other relevant information and documents that the commissioner may require.
(2) Change of circumstances. Every organization which has applied for a license under sub. (1) shall thereafter promptly notify the commissioner of every material change in the facts or in the documents on which its application was based.
(3) Granting of license. If the commissioner finds that the applicant and the natural persons through whom it acts are competent, trustworthy, and technically qualified to provide the services proposed, and that all requirements of law are met, he or she shall issue a license specifying the authorized activity of the applicant. The commissioner may not issue a license if the proposed activity would tend to create a monopoly or to lessen or destroy price competition.
(4) Duration. Licenses issued pursuant to this section shall remain in effect until the licensee withdraws from the state or until the license is suspended or revoked.
(5) Amendments to constitution and bylaws. Any amendment to a document filed under sub. (1) (a) shall be filed at least 30 days before it becomes effective. Failure to comply with this subsection shall be a ground for revocation of the license granted under sub. (3).
