Title 10 - Insurance
Article 4 - Property and Casualty Insurance
Part 4 - Rate Regulation
§ 10-4-404.5. Rating Plans - Property and Casualty Type Ii Insurers - Rules

1. The commissioner may promulgate rules for type II insurers that establish reasonable standards for rating plans, including experience rating plans, schedule rating plans, and expense reduction plans, and that are designed to modify rates in the development of premiums for individual risks insured in the property and casualty insurance market. Such rules may permit recognition of expected differences in loss and expense characteristics and shall be designed so that such plans are reasonable and equitable in their application and are not unfairly discriminatory. Such rules shall not prevent the development of new rating methods that would otherwise comply with this part 4. The rules may establish maximum charges against and credits to the experience rating of an insured that may result from the application of a rating plan. The rules may encourage the use of loss control programs, safety programs, and other methods of risk management and may require insurers to maintain documentation of the basis for the charges and credits applied under any plan. The rules may also require the rating plans to include merit rating to the extent feasible.
2. This section shall not apply to insurers providing coverage for exempt commercial policyholders, as defined pursuant to section 10-4-1402 and rules adopted by the commissioner pursuant to that section.
