Life insurance conforming to all of the following conditions is another form of group life insurance:
(a)
Written under a policy covering, when issued, not less than 25 members of any of the following:
(1)
Any labor union or unions.
(2)
The National Guard.
(3)
Any association or governmental or public employees.
(4)
Any credit union
organized and operating under the Federal Credit Union Act of 1934 or Chapter 36 of the California Statutes of 1927 as amended.
(5)
Any association of private employees of a common employer, formed for purposes other than obtaining insurance and having been in existence for two years or longer prior to issuance of the policy, and having a membership not less than 75 percent of the number of employees eligible for membership in such association.
(b)
Written under a policy issued to one or more such unions, credit union or association.
(c)
The premium on the policy to be paid by the union, credit union, or association or by the union or association and the members thereof jointly or by the insured members alone. Payment of such premium by a third party on behalf of the union member shall be considered payment by the
union member.
(d)
Insuring only members of such union or unions or members of such credit union or association.
(e)
Insuring for amounts of insurance based upon some plan which will preclude individual selection.
(f)
Insuring for the benefit of persons other than the union, credit union or association or its officials.
(g)
Written under a policy insuring, when issued, not less than 75 percent of all members eligible for insurance under the policy, or 75 percent of such members of any class thereof reasonably determined by conditions pertaining to employment or of any established unit thereof not formed for the purpose of procuring insurance; provided, that if a group policy is intended to insure several such classes or units it may be issued as respects
any such class or unit of which 75 percent are covered and extended to other such units or classes as 75 percent thereof express the desire to be covered. In such case, when members apply and pay for additional amounts of insurance, a smaller percentage of members may be insured for such additional amounts of insurance. If any member fails to become insured under an existing policy when he becomes eligible and later wishes to become insured thereunder, the insurer may require satisfactory evidence of insurability before insurance is granted on such member.
(h)
No policy of group life insurance shall be issued to an association of private employees of a common employer unless the employer consents in writing to deduct premiums from wages or salary of insured members.
(i)
Written under a policy covering any association having a constitution and bylaws and formed and continuously
maintained in good faith for purposes other than that of obtaining insurance, offering insurance to all the eligible members of such association and covering not less than 25 such members or such members together with their dependents or spouses and not less than 75 percent of all eligible members for amounts of insurance based upon some plan which will preclude individual selection by the member as to the amount of his or her insurance coverage thereunder. If the master policy is to be issued to cover members of labor unions, it may be issued to more than one such union.
