Section 20-443.02 - Stranger originated life insuranceA. Intentionally practicing or planning to initiate a life insurance policy for the benefit of a person or entity that lacks an insurable interest and that, at the time of policy origination, has no insurable interest in the insured is a violation of section 20-1104.
