Section 515F.6 - Disapproval of filings1. If, within the waiting period or any extension of it as provided in section 515F.5, subsection 3, the commissioner finds that a filing does not meet the requirements of this chapter, written notice of disapproval shall be sent to the insurer or advisory organization which made the filing, specifying in what respects the filing fails to meet the requirements of this chapter and stating that the filing shall not become effective. If a filing is disapproved by the commissioner, the insurer or advisory organization, may request a hearing on the disapproval within thirty days. The insurer bears the burden of proving compliance with the standards established by this chapter.2. If, at any time after a rate has been approved, the commissioner finds that the rate no longer meets the requirements of this chapter, the commissioner may order the discontinuance of use of the rate. The order of discontinuance may be issued only after a hearing with at least ten days' prior notice for all insurers affected by the order. The order must be in writing and state the grounds for the order. The order shall state when, within a reasonable period after the order is issued, the order of discontinuance shall be effective. The order shall not affect a contract or policy made or issued prior to the expiration of the period set forth in the order.3. An insured which is aggrieved with respect to a filing which is in effect may make written application to the commissioner for a hearing on that filing. The application shall specify the grounds to be relied upon by the applicant. If the commissioner finds that the application is made in good faith, that the applicant would be so aggrieved if the applicant's grounds are established, and that the grounds otherwise justify holding a hearing, a hearing shall be held within thirty days after receipt of the application, upon not less than ten days' written notice to the applicant and to every insurer and advisory organization which made that filing.4. If, after hearing, the commissioner finds that the filing does not meet the requirements of this chapter, the commissioner shall issue an order specifying in what respects the filing fails to meet the requirements of this chapter, and stating when, within a reasonable period after the order is issued, the filing shall no longer be in effect. Copies of the order shall be sent to the applicant and to every insurer and advisory organization which made that filing. The order shall not affect a contract or policy made or issued prior to the expiration of the period set forth in the order.90 Acts, ch 1234, §50; 2012 Acts, ch 1023, § 126
