26-15-112. Standard and uniform provisions of policies.

(a) Insurance contracts shall contain any standard or uniform provisions required by the applicable provisions of this code pertaining to contracts of particular kinds of insurance. The commissioner may waive the required use of a particular provision in a particular insurance policy form if:

(i) He finds the provision unnecessary for the insured's protection and inconsistent with the policy's purposes; and

(ii) He otherwise approves the policy.

(b) No policy shall contain any provision inconsistent with or contradictory to any standard or uniform provision used or required to be used, but the commissioner may approve any substitute provision which, in his opinion, is not less favorable in any particular to the insured or beneficiary than the provisions otherwise required.

(c) Instead 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 if the commissioner approves.

(d) A policy issued by a domestic insurer for delivery in another jurisdiction may contain any provision required or permitted by the laws of that jurisdiction.
