33-24-11. Waiver by Commissioner of use of standard or uniform provisions in policies or contracts; approval of use of substitute provisions.

The Commissioner may waive the required use of a particular provision in a particular insurance policy form or annuity or endowment contract form if the Commissioner finds such provision unnecessary for the protection of the insured or inconsistent with the purposes of the policy and if the policy is otherwise approved by the Commissioner.#

Unless otherwise provided in this title, no policy shall contain any provision inconsistent with or contradictory to any standard provision used or required to be used, but the Commissioner may approve any substitute provision which is not less favorable in any particular to the insured or beneficiary than the standard provisions or optional standard provisions otherwise required.#

In lieu of the standard provisions required by this title for contracts for particular kinds of insurance, substantially similar standard provisions required by the law of the domicile of a foreign or alien insurer may be used when approved by the Commissioner.#
