26-16-503. Insurer issuing participating and nonparticipating policies; records.
(a) Any life insurer issuing both participating and nonparticipating policies shall maintain any accounting records necessary for it to determine dividends to participating policyholders on an equitable basis.
(b) In the accounting records the insurer shall make a reasonable allocation as between participating and nonparticipating policies of the expenses of the general operations or functions as are jointly shared. Any allocation of expense as between categories shall be made upon a reasonable basis, to the end that each category shall bear a just portion of joint expense involved in the administration of the business of that category.
(c) No policy shall provide for and no life insurer or representative shall knowingly offer or promise payment, credit, or distribution of participating "dividends", "earnings", "profits" or "savings", by whatever name called, to participating policies out of the profits, earnings or savings on nonparticipating policies. This provision does not restrict the generality of W.S. 26-13-110.
