Okla. Stat. tit. 36 § 3612

Current through Laws 2024, c. 378.

Section 3612 - Standard provisions

A. Insurance contracts shall contain such standard provisions as are required by the applicable provisions of this Code pertaining to contracts of particular kinds of insurance. The Insurance Commissioner may waive the required use of a particular standard provision in a particular insurance policy form if:

1. The Commissioner finds such provision unnecessary for the protection of the insured and inconsistent with the purpose of the policy; and

2. The policy is otherwise approved.

B. No policy shall contain any provision inconsistent with or contradictory to any standard provision used or required to be used, but the Insurance Commissioner may approve any substitute provision which is not less favorable in any particular to the insured or beneficiary than the standard provisions or optional standard provisions otherwise required.

C. In lieu of the standard provisions required by the provisions of this Code for contracts for particular kinds of insurance, substantially similar standard provisions required by the law of the domicile of a foreign or alien insurer may be used when approved by the Insurance Commissioner.

D. This section does not apply with respect to the Oklahoma standard fire insurance policy.
