Sec. 40. Except for a policy that conforms to the description in section 37(2) of this chapter, a group life insurance policy may be extended to insure the employees or members, or any class or classes of employees or members, against loss due to the death of their spouses and dependent children, subject to the following:

(1) The premium for the insurance must be paid either from funds contributed by the employer, union, association, or other person to whom the policy has been issued, from funds contributed by the covered persons, or from both sources of funds. Except as provided in subdivision (2), a policy on which no part of the premium for the spouse's and dependent child's coverage is to be derived from funds contributed by the covered persons must insure all eligible employees or members, or any class or classes of eligible employees or members, with respect to their spouses and dependent children.

(2) An insurer may exclude or limit the coverage on any spouse or dependent child as to whom evidence of individual insurability is not satisfactory to the insurer.
