   2. (2) The issuance of the policy would result in economics of acquisition or administration; and
   3. (3) The benefits are reasonable in relation to the premiums charged.
2. (b) No such group life insurance coverage may be offered in this state by an insurer under a policy issued in another state unless this state or another state having requirements substantially similar to those contained in subsection (a) of this section has made a determination that the requirements have been met.
3. (c) The premium for the policy shall be paid either from the policyholder's funds or from funds contributed by the covered persons, or from both.
4. (d) An insurer may exclude or limit the coverage on any person as to whom evidence of individual insurability is not satisfactory to the insurer.
