2011 Nevada Revised Statutes
Chapter 686B - Rates and Essential Insurance
NRS 686B.060 - Determination of whether rates comply with standards.
In determining whether rates comply with the standards under NRS 686B.050, the following criteria shall be applied:
1. Due consideration shall be given to past and prospective loss and expense experience within and outside of this state, to catastrophe hazards and contingencies, to trends within and outside of this state, to loadings for leveling premium rates over time or for dividends or savings to be allowed or returned by insurers to their policyholders, members or subscribers, and to all other relevant factors, including the judgment of technical personnel.
2. Risks may be classified in any reasonable way for the establishment of rates and minimum premiums, except that classifications may not be based on race, color, creed or national origin. Rates thus produced may be modified for individual risks in accordance with rating plans or schedules which establish reasonable standards for measuring probable variations in hazards, expenses, or both.
3. The expense provisions included in the rates to be used by an insurer may reflect the operating methods of the insurer and, so far as it is credible, its own expense experience.
4. The rates may contain an allowance permitting a profit that is not unreasonable in relation to the riskiness of the class of business.
