26-16-208. Section applicability; calculation of certain adjusted premiums.
(a) This section does not apply to ordinary policies issued on or after the operative date of W.S. 26-16-209. All adjusted premiums and present values referred to in this article, for all policies of ordinary insurance, shall be calculated on the basis of the commissioners' 1958 standard ordinary mortality table, except that for any category of ordinary insurance issued on female risks, adjusted premiums and present values may be calculated according to an age not more than six (6) years younger than the insured's actual age.
(b) Calculations for all policies of industrial insurance shall be made on the basis of the commissioners' 1961 standard industrial mortality table.
(c) All calculations shall be made on the basis of the rate of interest specified in the policy for calculating cash surrender values and paid-up nonforfeiture benefits. The rate of interest shall not exceed three and one-half percent (3 1/2%) per annum, except that a rate of interest not exceeding four percent (4%) per annum may be used for policies issued on or after July 1, 1975 and prior to May 20, 1981 and a rate of interest not exceeding five and one-half percent (5 1/2%) per annum may be used for policies issued on or after May 20, 1981.
(d) 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 commissioners' 1958 extended term insurance table in the case of ordinary insurance, and the commissioners' 1961 industrial extended term insurance table in the case of industrial policies.
(e) For insurance issued on a substandard basis, the calculation of any adjusted premiums and present values may be based on any mortality table the insurer specifies and the commissioner approves.
