Montana Title 33. Insurance and Insurance Companies § 33-16-1029. Restrictions on certain insurers--waiting period

(1) The commissioner may require that a particular insurer file any of its rates and supplementary rate information 30 days prior to the effective date of the rates, if the commissioner finds after a hearing that the protection of the interests of the insurer's insureds and the public in this state requires closer supervision of the insurer's rates.

(2) Upon written application by an insurer, the commissioner, following review, may authorize a filing, which is effective before the expiration of the period described in subsection (1).

(3) The filing must be approved or disapproved during the waiting period and, if not disapproved before the expiration of the waiting period, is considered to have met the requirements of this section.

(4) An insurer aggrieved by the commissioner's actions under this section may request a rehearing by the commissioner after the expiration of 12 months from the date of the commissioner's initial order.
