(4)

The Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services may accept other standards for valuation if the director finds that the reserves produced will not be less in the aggregate than reserves computed in accordance with the minimum valuation standard prescribed in subsection (2) of this section. The director may vary the standards of mortality applicable to all benefit contracts on substandard lives or other extra hazardous lives by any society authorized to do business in this state.
