Sec. 1. (a) Standards of valuation for certificates issued before January 1, 1987, shall be those provided by the laws applicable on December 31, 1985.
(b) The minimum standards of valuation for certificates issued after December 31, 1986, shall be based on the following tables:
(1) For certificates of life insurance─the Commissioner's 1941 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table, the Commissioner's 1941 Standard Industrial Mortality Table, the Commissioner's 1958 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table, the Commissioner's 1980 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table, the Commissioner's 2017 Standard Mortality Table, or any more recent table made applicable to life insurers and approved by the commissioner in rules adopted under IC 4-22-2.
(2) For annuity and pure endowment certificates, total and permanent disability benefits, accidental death benefits, and noncancellable accident and health benefits─such tables as are authorized for use by life insurers in this state.
(c) All of the above shall be under valuation methods and standards (including interest assumptions) in accordance with the laws of this state applicable to life insurers issuing policies containing like benefits.
(d) The commissioner may accept other standards for valuation if the commissioner finds that the reserves produced will not be less in the aggregate than reserves computed in accordance with the minimum valuation standard prescribed in this section. The commissioner may vary the standards of mortality applicable to all benefit contracts on substandard lives or other extra hazardous lives by any society authorized to do business in this state.
(e) Any society, with the consent of the commissioner of the state of domicile of the society and under the conditions, if any, that the commissioner may impose, may establish and maintain reserves on its certificates in excess of the reserves required thereunder, but the contractual rights of any benefit member shall not be affected thereby.
