deliver or issue for delivery within this state variable contracts unless it is licensed

the company; and

state of domicile to issue variable contracts.

(2) If the company is a subsidiary of an admitted life insurance company or
affiliated with such company through common management or ownership, it may be
deemed by the commissioner to have complied with the provisions of this section if
either it or the parent or the affiliated company meets the requirements of this
section.
