(a) General rule.--Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, within the waiting period or any extension thereof as provided in section 2003(a) (relating to waiting period for filings), the commissioner may, by written notice, approve or disapprove the rate filing or schedule a formal administrative hearing on the filing. If a rate filing is approved, it may become effective upon the expiration of the waiting period and any extension thereof as provided in section 2003(a) or upon the effective date specified in the filing, whichever is later. If a rate filing is disapproved, the commissioner shall state in what respects the filing or part thereof fails to meet the requirements of this chapter or other applicable law.

(b) Effective date pending hearing.--If a rate filing is scheduled for a formal administrative hearing under this section, the filing may not become effective until an adjudication is issued. An adjudication shall be issued within 60 days after the close of the hearing.
