23-81-208. Calculation of adjusted premiums and present values -- Industrial policies issued on or after operative date of 23-81-213(c).

(a) In the case of industrial policies issued on or after the operative date of 23-81-213(c) as defined therein, all adjusted premiums and present values referred to in this subchapter shall be calculated on the basis of the Insurance Commissioner's 1961 Standard Industrial Mortality Table and the rate of interest specified in the policy for calculating cash surrender values and paid-up nonforfeiture benefits.

(b) However, the rate of interest shall not exceed three and one-half percent (3.5%) per annum, except that a rate of interest not exceeding five and one-half percent (5.5%) per annum may be used for policies issued on or after March 18, 1977, except that for any single premium whole life or endowment insurance policy a rate of interest not exceeding six and one-half percent (6.5%) per annum may be used.

(c) However, in calculating the present value of any paid-up term insurance with accompanying pure endowment, if any, offered as a nonforfeiture benefit, the rates of mortality assumed may be not more than those shown in the commissioner's 1961 Industrial Extended Term Insurance Table.

(d) Further, for insurance issued on a substandard basis, the calculations of any adjusted premiums and present values may be based on such other table of mortality as may be specified by the insurer and approved by the commissioner.

(e) This section shall not apply to industrial policies issued on or after the operative date of 23-81-213(d) as defined therein.
