Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 731 § 731.156 — “Variable

“Variable life insurance”; “variable annuity.” “Variable life insurance” and “variable annuity” mean forms of life insurance or annuity benefits, respectively, that vary according to the investment experience of a separate account or accounts maintained by the insurer with respect to policies providing such benefits or are securities under the Securities Act of 1933, 15 U.S.C. 77a et seq., as in effect on January 1, 2024, that vary according to the performance of a benchmark index, rate or fund if the principal or minimum rate of interest is not guaranteed and might be subject to a market value adjustment. For convenience, reference to “variable life insurance” in the Insurance Code includes variable life insurance and variable annuities as defined in this section, except if the inclusion of variable annuities obviously is inapplicable or if the context requires, or the Insurance Code provides, otherwise.
