Sec. 13. (a) Every group, association, or other organization of insurers, whether located within or outside this state, which assists insurers which make their own filings or rating organizations in ratemaking, by the collection and furnishing of loss or expense statistics, or by the submission of recommendations, but which does not make filings under this chapter, shall be known as an advisory organization.

(1) a copy of its constitution, its articles of agreement or association, or its certificate of incorporation and of its bylaws, rules, and regulations governing its activities;
(2) a list of its members;
(3) the name and address of a resident of this state upon whom notices or orders of the commissioner or process issued at his direction may be served; and
(4) an agreement that the commissioner may examine such advisory organization in accordance with the provisions of section 15 of this chapter.
(c) If, after a hearing, the commissioner finds that the furnishing of such information or assistance involves any act or practice which is unfair or unreasonable or otherwise inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter, he may issue a written order specifying in what respect such act or practice is unfair or unreasonable or otherwise inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter, and requiring the discontinuance of such act or practice.
(d) No insurer which makes its own filings nor any rating organization shall support its findings by statistics or adopt ratemaking recommendations furnished to it by an advisory organization which has not complied with this section or with an order of the commissioner involving such statistics or recommendations issued under subsection (c). If the commissioner finds such insurer or rating organization to be in violation of this subsection, he may issue an order requiring the discontinuance of the violation.
