(a) In the case of ordinary policies issued on or after the operative date of this subdivision as defined herein, all adjusted premiums and present values referred to in this article shall be calculated on the basis of the Commissioners 1958 Standard Ordinary Mortality Table and the rate of interest specified in the policy for calculating cash surrender values and paid-up nonforfeiture benefits, provided that such rate of interest shall not exceed 31/2 percent per annum except that a rate of interest not exceeding 4 percent per annum may be used for all policies issued on or after January 1, 1970, and prior to January 1, 1980, and a rate of interest not exceeding 51/2 percent per annum may be used for all such policies issued on or after January 1, 1980, except that for any single premium whole life or endowment insurance policy a rate of interest not exceeding 61/2 percent per annum may be used; provided, that 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 years younger than the actual age of the insured; provided, however, that 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 Commissioners 1958 Extended Term Insurance Table; provided further, that for insurance issued on a substandard basis, the calculation of any such adjusted premiums and present values may be based on such other table of mortality as may be specified by the company and approved by the commissioner.
On or after January 1, 1961, any company may file with the commissioner a written notice of its election to comply with the provisions of this subdivision after a specified date before January 1, 1966. After the filing of such notice, then upon such specified date (which shall be the operative date of this subdivision for such company), this subdivision shall become operative with respect to the ordinary policies thereafter issued by such company. If a company makes no such election, the operative date of this subdivision for such company shall be January 1, 1966.
(b) In the case of industrial policies issued on or after the operative date of this subdivision as defined herein, all adjusted premiums and present values referred to in this article shall be calculated on the basis of the Commissioners 1961 Standard Industrial Mortality Table and the rate of interest specified in the policy for calculating cash surrender values and paid-up nonforfeiture benefits, provided that such rate of interest shall not exceed 31/2 percent per annum except that a rate of interest not exceeding 4 percent per annum may be used for all such policies issued on or after January 1, 1970, and prior to January 1, 1980, and a rate of interest not exceeding 51/2 percent per annum may be used for all such policies issued on or after January 1, 1980, except that for any single premium whole life or endowment insurance policy a rate of interest not exceeding 61/2 percent per annum may be used. Provided, however, that 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 Commissioners 1961 Industrial Extended Term Insurance Table. Provided, further, that for insurance issued on a substandard basis, the calculation of any such adjusted premiums and present values may be based on such other table of mortality as may be specified by the company and approved by the commissioner.
After September 20, 1963, any company may file with the commissioner a written notice of its election to comply with the provisions of this subdivision after a specified date before January 1, 1968. After the filing of such notice, then upon such specified date (which shall be the operative date of this subdivision for such company), this subdivision shall become operative with respect to the industrial policies thereafter issued by such company. If a company makes no such election, the operative date of this subdivision for such company shall be January 1, 1968.
This section shall not apply to ordinary or industrial policies issued on or after the operative date of Section 10163.2.
