33-15-301. Requiring standard provisions -- waiver. (1) Insurance contracts must contain the standard or uniform provisions and benefits required by the applicable provisions of this code pertaining to contracts of particular kinds of insurance. The commissioner may waive a particular provision in a particular insurance policy form if:
(a) the commissioner finds the provision or benefit unnecessary for the protection of the insured and inconsistent with the purposes of the policy; and
(b) the policy is otherwise approved by the commissioner.
(2) A policy or certificate may not contain any provision or benefit inconsistent with or contradictory to any standard or uniform provision or benefit used or required to be used, but the commissioner may approve any substitute provision or benefit that is, in the commissioner's opinion, not less favorable in any particular to the insured or beneficiary than the provisions otherwise required.
(3) In lieu of the provisions required by this code for contracts for particular kinds of insurance, substantially similar provisions required by the law of the domicile of a foreign or alien insurer may be used when approved by the commissioner.
(4) A provision, if required to be contained in the policy, may not be waived by agreement between the insurer and any other person.
