Insurance Code section 1236

The loan value of the policy shall be equivalent to the cash surrender value of the policy, the minimum requirements of which are specified in Sections 10160 through 10165 for life insurance and in Section 11043, for fraternal benefit society policies or certificates, but no policy shall terminate in a policy year as the sole result of change in the interest rate during that policy year. The life insurer shall maintain coverage during that policy year until the time at which it would otherwise have terminated if there had been no change during that policy year.
