Notice of proposed changes in such rules shall be given to subscribers. (2) Each rating organization shall furnish its rating services without discrimination to its members and subscribers. (3) The reasonableness of any rule in its application to subscribers, or the refusal of any rating organization to admit an insurer as a subscriber, shall, at the request of any subscriber or any such insurer, be reviewed by the director at a hearing upon notice to the rating organization and to the subscriber or insurer in accordance with chapter 2, title 41, Idaho Code. If the director finds that such rule is unreasonable in its application to subscribers, he shall order that the rule shall not be applicable to subscribers.

If the director finds that the insurer has been refused admittance to the rating organization as a subscriber without justification, he shall order the rating organization to admit the insurer as a subscriber.

41-1437. MAKING AND USE OF RATES. (1) As to all rates which are subject to this chapter, due consideration shall be given to past and prospective loss experience within and outside this state, to the conflagration and catastrophe hazards, to a reasonable margin for underwriting profit and contingencies, to dividends, savings or unabsorbed premium deposits allowed or returned by insurers to their policy holders, members or subscribers, to past and prospective expenses both countrywide and those specifically applicable to this state, and to all other relevant factors, including judgment factors, within and outside this state; and in the case of fire insurance rates, consideration shall be given to the experience of the fire insurance business during a period of not less than the most recent five (5) year period for which such experience is available. (2) The systems of expense provisions included in the rates for use by an insurer or group of insurers may differ from those of other insurers or groups of insurers to reflect the requirements of the operating methods of any such insurer or group 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. (3) Risks may be grouped by classification 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 difference among risks that can be demonstrated to have a probable effect upon losses or expenses. Such classifications and modifications shall apply to all risks under the same or substantially the same circumstances or conditions.
