(a) For the purpose of making provision for the issuance of policies or contracts authorized by Article 5 (commencing with Section 10506) of Chapter 5 of Part 2 of Division 2, the commissioner may grant authority to transact variable life and variable annuity to a person or a natural person named on a license of an organization licensed as a life agent that is appointed by an admitted insurer that is required to register itself or to register a separate account or fund with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission under the Federal Investment Company Act of 1940, or to register its variable policies or contracts with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Federal Securities Act of 1933, and has complied with that requirement. The commissioner may grant variable life and variable annuity authority to a person who is not a resident of California and is not a licensed life agent in California provided that the person is licensed for both life and variable annuity authority in the resident state.
(b) A person shall not act as an agent of the insurer in the transaction of the policies or contracts unless the person holds a valid authority under this article.
