Official statutory text
Life insurance conforming to all the following conditions is another form of group life insurance:
(a) Written under a policy covering, when issued, not less than 25 employees in eligible classes or positions as designated by the Department of Human Resources pursuant to Section 19849.11 of the Government Code.
(b) Written under a policy issued to the State of California through the Department of Human Resources or its designee pursuant to Sections 19849.10 to 19849.12, inclusive, of the Government Code.
(c) The premium on the policy is to be paid by the employees alone, by the state alone, or in part by the state with the remainder to be paid by the employees.
(d) Insuring only managerial and confidential employees as defined by subdivisions (e) and (f) of Section 3513 of the Government Code, and employees excluded from the definition of state employees in subdivision (c) of Section 3513 of the Government Code.
(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 Department of Human Resources or its designee.
(g) Written under a policy insuring, when issued, not less than 75 percent of all employees eligible for insurance under the policy, or 75 percent of the employees of any class or position thereof reasonably determined by conditions pertaining to employment or of any established unit thereof not formed for the purpose of procuring insurance. If a group policy is intended to insure several classes, positions, or units, it may be issued as respects the classes, positions, or units of which 75 percent are covered and extended to those other units, classes, or positions of which 75 percent express the desire to be covered. In this case, when the employees apply and pay for additional amounts of insurance, a smaller percentage of employees may be insured for the additional amounts of insurance. If any employee fails to become insured under an existing policy when he or she becomes eligible and later wishes to become insured thereunder, the insurer may require satisfactory evidence of insurability before insurance is granted on the employee.
