Text

Prior to accepting the applicant's initial premium or premium deposit, the insurer shall provide, to all prospective life insurance purchasers, a buyer's guide, and a policy summary. However, in lieu of a policy summary, an insurer may provide an illustration which complies with applicable rules concerning life insurance illustrations. Insurers may deliver the buyer's guide and policy summary or illustration at other times as specified by the director by rule. The director may also promulgate rules pursuant to chapter 1-26 specifying the type of policy summary required, the form and content of policy summaries, the specific buyer's guide to be used, and if the buyer's guide must be provided.
