Notwithstanding the provisions of section 20-452 and notwithstanding any other provision of law, domestic life insurers, whether of the stock, mutual, fraternal or limited capital stock type, shall not be prohibited from engaging in a program whereby the holders of their life insurance policies are offered the right from time to time to buy for cash or to exchange dividends on such policies or other policy values resulting therefrom for securities in domestic corporations engaged in or organized to engage in the insurance business, but no such insurer shall engage in any such program unless the right to buy or the dividends or other policy values subject to exchange result from ownership of or are payable on account of a policy that from its inception is or that, within a period of not to exceed six years from its issue date, becomes a life insurance policy on a permanent plan other than term. From and after being placed on such permanent plan, every such policy shall be in full compliance with sections 20-1231 and 20-1231.01 (standard nonforfeiture law) computed as from the date of being placed on such permanent plan. No such offering shall be deemed to be exempt from title 44, chapter 12.
