23-81-122. Annuity and pure endowment contracts — Grace period provision. (a) In an annuity or pure endowment contract, other than a reversionary, survivorship, or group annuity, there shall be a provision that there shall be a period of grace of one (1) month, but not less than thirty (30) days, within which any stipulated payment to the insurer falling due after the first may be made, subject at the option of the insurer to an interest charge thereon at a rate to be specified in the contract but not exceeding six percent (6%) per annum for the number of days of grace elapsing before the payment, during which period of grace the contract shall continue in full force. (b) However, in case a claim arises under the contract on account of death prior to expiration of the period of grace before the overdue payment to the insurer or the deferred payment of the current contract year, if any, is made, the amount of the payments, with interest on any overdue payments, may be deducted from any amount payable under the contract in settlement.
