(a) The board of directors of a stipulated premium company by resolution may, subject to this chapter, increase or otherwise adjust a rate of premium on any insurance policy it issues, reinsures, or assumes when, in the board's discretion, the adjustment is necessary.
(b) In making a comprehensive adjustment of one or more classes of the stipulated premium company's policies, the board of directors may provide that an insured who is required to pay an increased premium may choose to pay a part or none of the amount of the increase and receive a reduction of the corresponding insurance benefits proportionate to the value of the unpaid part of the increase.
(c) This section does not apply to a policy:
(1) issued by a stipulated premium company that on the date the policy is issued possesses an unencumbered surplus in an amount of at least $50,000;
(2) on which the stipulated premium company has relinquished the right to adjust rates; and
(3) under which the premium for life insurance requires the payment of a premium for life insurance that alone is sufficient to maintain reserves at least equal to those computed on the basis of the 1958 Commissioners Standard Ordinary Table of Mortality with interest not to exceed 3-1/2 percent a year.
