If any policy is issued by an insurer domiciled in this state for delivery to a person residing in another state, and if the insurance department of that state has advised the commissioner that the policy is not subject to approval or disapproval by that official, the commissioner may by ruling require that the policy meet the standards set forth in subsection 1 and in section 26.1-36-04.
