This subchapter shall apply to reinsurance treaties that cede liabilities pertaining to covered policies issued by any life insurance company domiciled in this state. Subchapter I and this subchapter shall both apply to such reinsurance treaties; provided, that in the event of a direct conflict between the provisions of this subchapter and subch. I, the provisions of this subchapter shall apply, but only to the extent of the conflict.Wis. Admin. Code Office of the Commissioner of Insurance Ins 52.20
