23-81-207. Calculation of adjusted premiums and present values — Ordinary policies issued on or after operative date of § 23-81-213(b). (a) In the case of ordinary policies issued on or after the operative date of § 23-81-213(b) 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 1958 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table and the rate of interest specified in the policy for calculating cash surrender values and paid-up nonforfeiture benefits. (b) 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) 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 actual age of the insured. (d) 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 1958 Extended Term Insurance Table. (e) Further, for insurance issued on a substandard basis, the calculation 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. (f) This section shall not apply to ordinary policies issued on or after the operative date of § 23-81-213(d).
