(b) Rates shall not be excessive, inadequate or unfairly discriminatory;

(c) Due consideration shall be given:

1. To past and prospective loss experience within and outside this state;

2. To the conflagration and catastrophe hazards;

3. To a reasonable margin for underwriting profit and contingencies;

4. To dividends, savings or unabsorbed premium deposits allowed or returned by insurers to their policyholders, members or subscribers;

5. To past and prospective expenses both countrywide and those specially applicable to this state;

6. To all other relevant factors within and outside this state; and

7. In the case of fire insurance rates, consideration may be given to the experience of the fire insurance business during a period of not less than the most recent three (3) year period for which such experience is available;

(d) The expense provisions included in the rates for use by any insurer or group of insurers shall reflect the requirements of the operating methods of any such insurer or group and its anticipated expenses, with respect to any kind of insurance or with respect to any subdivision or combination thereof for which subdivision or combination separate expense provisions are applicable;

(e) Risks may be grouped by classifications for the establishment of rates and minimum premiums. Classification rates may be modified to produce rates for individual risks in accordance with rating plans which establish standards for measuring variations in hazards or expense provisions, or both. Such standards may measure any differences among risks which can be demonstrated to have a probable effect upon losses or expenses. Rates made in accordance with this section may be used subject to this subtitle.
