Official statutory text
A. No policy of individual life insurance or any annuity shall

have printed thereon or attached thereto a notice stating in
substance that, during a period of ten (10) days from the date the
policy or annuity is delivered to the insured, it may be surrendered
to the insurer together with a written request for cancellation of
the policy or annuity and, in such event, the policy or annuity
shall be void from the beginning and the insurer will refund any

the Insurance Commissioner by the State Treasurer on the first
regular business day in January of each year, plus two (2)
percentage points, which shall accrue from the date of cancellation
