Where this section sits in the code

    (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of KRS 304.15-310(1)(b) and (d), companies which

    comply with the provisions of KRS 304.15 -342 may issue policies of life insurance

    which differ from their existing or currently filed policies only in that they do not

    provide for any cash surrender value prior to the death of the life insured. However,

    if a policy provides for any cash surrender value, endowment, or pure endowment

    prior to the death of the life insured, this exemption shall not apply. Provided,

    further, that an y policy without cash surrender values, for which one (1) or more

    cash surrender values would otherwise have been required, shall contain on its first

    page, a concise, exact description, set out in contrasting type at least four (4) points

    larger than used in the body of that page a statement in a prominent place that such

    values are not provided and that no policy loans are available under the policy.

    Further, the insurer shall provide to each prospective purchaser of such a policy a

    policy summary, the fo rm of which shall be filed for approval pursuant to KRS

    304.14-120, which includes the same description as the policy, similarly displayed,

    and which shows the premium said insurer charges for the same policy when cash

    values are included. Such policy summary shall be delivered before any premium is

    accepted.

    (2) Such policies shall provide for a paid -up nonforfeiture benefit as required by KRS

    304.15-310(1)(a) and (c). The amount or period of any paid-up nonforfeiture benefit

    shall be determined from a non forfeiture amount determined as provided by KRS

    304.15-330 for an otherwise similar policy with cash surrender values. The

    nonforfeiture amount, at any time, shall not be less than the amount of the minimum

    cash surrender value required by KRS 304.15 -320 for an otherwise similar policy

    with cash surrender values.

    (3) Except for the requirement of payment upon surrender, the nonforfeiture amounts

    for such policies shall be subject to all provisions of this subtitle which apply to the

    cash surrender values of otherwise similar life insurance policies with cash

    surrender values.

    (4) KRS 304.15 -110 shall not apply to policies which do not provide cash surrender

    values.
