2014 Oklahoma Statutes
Title 36. Insurance
§36-1145. Rules and statistical plans - Commissioner authority to promulgate - Scope.
A. The Insurance Commissioner shall promulgate rules and statistical plans adapted to each of the rating systems on file, which may be modified, from time to time, and which shall be used thereafter by each insurer in the recording and reporting of its loss and countrywide expense experience, in order that the experience of all insurers may be made available, at least annually, in such form and detail as may be necessary to aid it in determining whether rating systems comply with the standards set forth in this act.
1. Such rules and plans may also provide for the recording and reporting of expense experience items which are specially applicable to this state and are not susceptible to determination by a prorating of countrywide expense experience.
2. In promulgating such rules and plans, the Commissioner shall give due consideration to the rating system on file and, in order that such rules and plans may be as uniform as is practicable among the several states, to the rules and to the form of the plans used for such rating systems in other states.
3. No insurer shall be required to record or report its loss experience on a classification basis that is inconsistent with the rating system filed by it.
4. The Commissioner may designate one or more advisory organizations or other agencies to assist it in gathering such experience and making compilations thereof, and such compilations shall be made available, subject to reasonable rules promulgated by the Commissioner, to insurers and advisory organizations.
B. Reasonable rules and plans may be promulgated by the Commissioner for the interchange of data necessary for the application of rating plans.
C. In order to further uniform administration of rate regulatory laws, the Commissioner and every insurer and advisory organization may exchange information and experience data with insurance supervisory officials, insurers and rating organizations in other states and may consult with them with respect to ratemaking and the application of rating systems.
D. The Commissioner may make reasonable rules and regulations necessary to effect the purposes of this act.
