A. A policy of group life insurance may be issued to a trust or to the trustee of a fund established by two or more employers, or by one or more labor unions or similar employee organizations, or by one or more employers and one or more labor unions or similar employee organizations, which trust or trustee shall be deemed the policyholder, to insure employees of the employers or members of the unions or organizations for the benefit of persons other than the employers or the unions or organizations, subject to the following requirements: (1) the persons eligible for insurance shall be all of the employees of the employers or all of the members of the unions or organizations, or all of any class or classes thereof. The policy may provide that the term "employees" shall include retired employees, the individual proprietor or partners if an employer is an individual proprietor or a partnership, and directors of a corporate employer. The policy may provide that the term "employees" shall include the trustees or their employees, or both, if their duties are principally connected with such trusteeship; (2) the premium for the policy shall be paid from funds contributed by the employer or employers of the insured persons, or by the union or similar employee organizations, or by both, or from funds contributed by the insured persons or from both the insured persons and the employer or union or similar employee organization. Except as provided in Paragraph (3) of this section, a policy on which no part of the premium is to be derived from funds contributed by the insured persons specifically for their insurance must insure all eligible persons, except those who reject such coverage in writing; and (3) an insurer may exclude or limit the coverage on any person as to whom evidence of individual insurability is not satisfactory to the insurer. B. No such policy or certificate of group life insurance may be renewed, delivered or issued for delivery in this state unless the superintendent has approved the issuance. The superintendent shall not grant his approval unless he finds that: (1) the benefits of the policy are reasonable in relation to the premium charged; and (2) the group to which the policy is issued is organized and operated in a fiscally sound manner. C. The provisions of this section apply to the offering in this state of a policy issued in another state or its certificates.
