  • (a) Insurance contracts shall contain such standard provisions as are required by the applicable chapters of this title pertaining to contracts of particular kinds of insurance. The Commissioner may waive the required use of a particular standard provision in a particular insurance contract form if—

    • (1) he finds such provision unnecessary for the protection of the insured, and inconsistent with the purposes of the contract; and

    • (2) the contract is otherwise approved by him.

  • (b) No insurance contract shall contain any provision inconsistent with or contradictory to any such standard provision used or required to be used, but the Commissioner may, except as to the standard provisions of individual disability insurance contracts as required under chapter 35 of this title, approve any provision which is in his opinion more favorable to the insured than the standard provision or optional standard provision otherwise required. No endorsement, rider, or other documents attached to such contract shall vary, extend, or in any respect conflict with any such standard provision, or with any modification thereof so approved by the Commissioner as being more favorable to the insured.

  • (c) 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 a foreign or alien insurer's domicile may be used when approved by the Commissioner.
