27-1-22-11. Appeal to Commissioner From Act or Decision of Rating Organization; Decision and Order

Sec. 11. (a) Any subscriber which has authorized a rating organization to making filings on its behalf and any member thereof which does not wish to act under sections 4(h) and 4(i) of this chapter may appeal to the commissioner from the action or decision of such rating organization in approving or rejecting any proposed change in or addition to the filings of such rating organization and the commissioner shall, after a hearing held upon not less than ten (10) days written notice to the appellant and to such rating organization, issue an order approving the action or decision of such rating organization or directing it to give further consideration to such proposal, or, if such appeal is from the action or decision of the rating organization in rejecting a proposed addition to its filings, the commissioner may, in the event the commissioner finds that such action or decision was unreasonable, issue an order directing the rating organization to make an addition to its filings in a manner consistent with the commissioner's findings within a reasonable time after the issuance of such order.
(b) If such appeal is based upon the failure of the rating organization to make a filing on behalf of such member or subscriber which is based on a system of expense provisions which differs, in accordance with the right granted in section 3(a)(3) of this chapter from the system of expense provisions included in a filing made by the rating organization, the commissioner shall, if the commissioner grants the appeal, order the rating organization to make the requested filing for use by the appellant. In deciding such appeal the commissioner shall apply the standards set forth in section 3 of this chapter.
