OKLAHOMA CITY (July 27, 2026) – Attorney General Gentner Drummond today called on Insurance Commissioner Glen Mulready to immediately release the Oklahoma Insurance Department's long-delayed examination report into insurance companies' roof-claim handling practices, saying Oklahoma homeowners deserve the transparency they were promised.
In a letter to Mulready, Drummond noted that after he filed a lawsuit against State Farm over their alleged claims-handling scheme practices, Mulready announced that his office had been investigating insurers' market conduct for two years. Mulready pledged to publicly release the findings during the first quarter of 2026. More than six months later and into the third quarter of the year, the report has yet to be released.
“Oklahomans deserve answers, not excuses. The Insurance Commissioner made a promise and, once again, broke it, and every month of delay is a month insurance companies collect record high premiums,” Drummond said. “He was elected to protect Oklahoma homeowners, not insurance company profits. Now, he's running out of time to do the right thing.”
Drummond requested that Mulready publicly release the examination report, investigative findings and supporting workpapers by Friday.
Also in the letter, he further criticized the commissioner for repeatedly delaying a public hearing on insurance market competition while homeowners continue to face soaring insurance costs. Drummond first requested the hearing in an April 17 letter that outlined concerns about the unprecedented rise in homeowners insurance rates. By law, Mulready had 30 days to hold the hearing or to issue an order denying it. He denied the taxpayers request and, when Drummond called him out about it, Mulready drug his feet and has since announced plans for a September hearing.
“As Oklahoma's chief law officer, I have a statutory duty to protect the collective interests of Oklahomans,” Drummond said. “Transparency is not optional. Hardworking Oklahomans are paying the price for the commissioner's refusal to comply with the law.”
Drummond first sent a letter to the Commissioner nearly one year ago, demanding action to address Oklahoma's skyrocketing homeowners insurance premiums and the practices driving those increases.
