Section 681B.150 - Minimum reserve; applicability1. If in any contract year the gross premium charged by any life insurer on any policy or contract issued on or after January 1, 1972, 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 is the greater of:(a) The reserve calculated according to the mortality table, rate of interest and method actually used for the policy or contract; or(b) 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 subsection are the standards stated in NRS 681B.120 and 681B.125.2. If any life insurance policy is issued on or after January 1, 1987, for which the gross premium in the first policy year exceeds that of the second year and no comparable additional benefit is provided in the first year in return for the excess premium, 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 this section must be applied as if the method actually used in calculating the reserve for the policy were the method described in NRS 681B.130 other than in subsection 2 of that section. The minimum reserve required at each policy anniversary of such a policy is the greater of the minimum reserve calculated in accordance with NRS 681B.130, including subsection 2 of that section, and the minimum reserve calculated in accordance with this subsection and subsection 1.3. The minimum standard for the valuation of policies and contracts issued before January 1, 1972, must be that provided by the laws in effect immediately preceding that date.4. Except as otherwise provided in NRS 681B.310, the provisions of this section apply only to, or in connection with, policies and contracts issued on or after January 1, 1972, and before the operative date of the Valuation Manual.Added to NRS by 1971, 1616; A 1977, 687; 1983, 945; 2015, 3411Amended by 2015, Ch. 522,§40.43, eff. 7/1/2015.Added to NRS by 1971, 1616; A 1977, 687; 1983, 945
