No policy of group life insurance may be delivered or issued for delivery in this State unless it conforms to the following description: (1) A policy of group life insurance may be issued to a trust or to cover the lives of two or more persons who are associated in a common group formed for purposes other than the obtaining of insurance, except that group certificates of credit life insurance may be issued to persons other than those in a common group. (2) The amounts of life insurance under the policy must be based on some plan or plans precluding individual selection, except that insurance supplemental to the basic coverage may be available to persons insured under the policy. (3) For groups of twenty-five or more persons no evidence of individual insurability may be required at the time the person first becomes eligible for insurance or within thirty-one days thereafter except for any insurance supplemental to the basic coverage for which evidence of individual insurability may be required. With respect to trusteed groups the phrase "groups of twenty-five" must be applied on a participating unit basis for the purpose of requiring individual evidence of insurability. (4) Premiums for basic and supplemental coverage must be paid by the policyholder from the policyholder's funds or from funds contributed by the insured persons or from both.
