Oregon Revised Statutes Chapter 731 § 731.396 — Certificate of authority and good financial condition required to issue

Certificate of authority and good financial condition required to issue variable life insurance or variable annuity policies. No domestic, foreign or alien insurer shall deliver or issue for delivery in this state variable life insurance or variable annuity policies unless the insurer is authorized to transact life insurance in this state and the Director of the Department of Consumer and Business Services is satisfied that its condition and method of operation in connection with the issuance of such policies will not render its operation hazardous to its policyholders or the public in this state. In making the determination the director shall consider, among other things: (1) The history and financial condition of the insurer; (2) The character, responsibility and fitness of the officers and directors of the insurer; and (3) The laws and rules under which the insurer is authorized by its domicile to issue such policies.
