23-84-111. Calculation of reserves — Future premium determinations by life insurers.
(a) In the case of any plan of life insurance which provides for future premium determination, the amounts of which are to be determined by the insurer based on then-estimates of future experience, or in the case of any plan of life insurance or annuity which is of such a nature that the minimum reserves cannot be determined by the methods described in §§ 23-84-106, 23-84-107, and 23-84-110, the reserves which are held under any such plan must be:
(1) Appropriate in relation to the benefits and the pattern of premiums for that plan; and
(2) Computed by a method which is consistent with the principles of this chapter, as determined by rules promulgated by the Insurance Commissioner.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provisions in the law of this state, any policy, contract, or certificate providing life insurance under any plan must be affirmatively approved by the commissioner before it can be marketed, issued, delivered, or used in this state.

23-84-106. Calculation of reserves generally.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in §§ 23-84-107 and 23-84-110, reserves according to the Insurance Commissioner's reserve valuation method, for the life insurance and endowment benefits of policies providing for a uniform amount of insurance and requiring the payment of uniform premiums, shall be the excess, if any, of the present value at the date of valuation, of such future guaranteed benefits provided for by the policies, over the then-present value of any future modified net premiums therefor. The modified net premiums for any policy shall be a uniform percentage of the respective contract premiums for the benefits such that the present value, at the date of issue of the policy, of all modified net premiums shall be equal to the sum of the then-present value of benefits provided for by the policy and the excess of subdivision (a)(1) of this section over subdivision (a)(2) of this section, as follows:
(1) A net level annual premium equal to the present value, at the date of issue, of such benefits provided for after the first policy year, divided by the present value, at the date of issue, of an annuity of one (1) per annum payable on the first and each subsequent anniversary of the policy on which a premium falls due. However, the net level annual premium shall not exceed the net level annual premium on the nineteen-year premium whole life plan for insurance of the same amount at an age one (1) year higher than the age at issue of the policy; and
(2) A net one-year-term premium for the benefits provided for in the first policy year.
(b)(1) However, for any life insurance policy issued on or after January 1, 1985, for which the contract premium in the first policy year exceeds that of the second year and for whi

23-84-107. Calculation of reserves — Certain annuity and pure endowment contracts.
(a) This section shall apply to all annuity and pure endowment contracts other than group annuity and pure endowment contracts purchased under a retirement plan or plan of deferred compensation, established or maintained by an employer, including a partnership or sole proprietorship, or by an employee organization, or by both, other than a plan providing individual retirement accounts or individual retirement annuities under section 408 of the Internal Revenue Code, as now or hereafter amended.
(b)(1) Reserves according to the Insurance Commissioner's annuity reserve method for benefits under annuity or pure endowment contracts, excluding any disability and accidental death benefits in the contracts, shall be the greatest of the respective excesses of the present values, at the date of valuation, of the future guaranteed benefits, including guaranteed nonforfeiture benefits, provided for by the contracts at the end of each respective contract year, over the present value, at the date of valuation, of any future valuation considerations derived from future gross considerations, required by the terms of the contract, that become payable prior to the end of the respective contract year.
(2) The future guaranteed benefits shall be determined by using the mortality table, if any, and the interest rates specified in the contracts for determining guaranteed benefits.
(3) The valuation considerations are the portions of the respective gross considerations applied under the terms of the contracts to determine nonforfeiture values.

23-84-110. Calculation of reserves — Certain life insurance policies and contracts.
(a) If in any contract year the gross premium charged by a company on any policy or contract is less than the valuation net premium for the policy or contract calculated by the method used in calculating the reserve thereon, but using the minimum valuation standards of mortality and rate of interest, the minimum reserve required for the policy or contract shall be the greater of either the reserve calculated according to the mortality table, rate of interest, and method actually used for the policy or contract, or the reserve calculated by the method actually used for the policy or contract but using the minimum valuation standards of mortality and rate of interest and replacing the valuation net premium by the actual gross premium in each contract year for which the valuation net premium exceeds the actual gross premium. The minimum valuation standards of mortality and rate of interest referred to in this section are those standards stated in §§ 23-84-103 and 23-84-104.
(b)(1) However, for any life insurance policy issued on or after January 1, 1985, for which the gross premium in the first policy year exceeds that of the second year and for which no comparable additional benefit is provided in the first year for the excess and which provides an endowment benefit or a cash surrender value, or a combination thereof, in an amount greater than the excess premium, the provisions of subsection (a) of this section shall be applied as if the method actually used in calculating the reserve for the policy was the method described in § 23-84-106, ignoring § 23-84-106(b).
(2) The minimum reserve at each policy anniversary of the policy shall be the greater of the minimum reserve calculated
