1.  Application to the superintendent.
Any insured aggrieved with respect to any filing, rate, expense or premium level that is in effect may make a written application to the superintendent for a hearing.

2.  Responsive filing and hearing.
If the superintendent finds that the application is made in good faith, that the applicant would be so aggrieved if the applicant's grounds were established and that such grounds otherwise justify holding a hearing, the superintendent shall, by written order, require that the insurer, advisory organization or rating organization prepare within 30 days a responsive filing containing information necessary, in the judgment of the superintendent, to review the application. A public hearing may be conducted and, if conducted, must be at least 30 days from the date the responsive filing is determined complete by the superintendent.

3.
If, after such a hearing, the superintendent finds that the filing, rate, expense or premium level does not meet the requirements of this chapter, the superintendent shall issue a final order specifying in what respects the superintendent finds that the filing fails to meet the requirements of this chapter, or is unjust and unreasonable, and stating when, within a reasonable period thereafter, the filing, rate, expense or premium level shall be changed, replaced or determined no longer effective. Copies of the order shall be sent to the applicant and to every insurer and rating or advisory organization. The order shall not affect any contract or policy made or issued prior to the expiration of the period set forth in the order.

§2321-A. Licensing advisory organizations
1.
No advisory organization may provide any service relating to the rates of any insurance subject to this chapter, and no insurer may utilize the services of that organization for those purposes unless the organization has obtained a license under subsection 3, paragraph C.
[PL 1989, c. 797, §23 (NEW); PL 1989, c. 797, §§37, 38 (AFF).]
2.

[PL 1989, c. 797, §23 (NEW); PL 1989, c. 797, §§37, 38 (AFF).]
3.
The licensing of advisory organizations is governed by the following.
A. An advisory organization's application for a license must include:
(1) A copy of its constitution, charter, articles of organization, agreement, association or incorporation, and a copy of its bylaws, plan of operation and any other rules or regulations governing the conduct of its business;
(2) A list of its members and subscribers;
(3) The name and address of one or more residents of this State upon whom notices, process affecting it, or orders of the superintendent may be served;
(4) A statement showing its technical qualifications for acting in the capacity for which it seeks a license;
(5) A biography of the ownership and management of the organization; and
(6) Any other relevant information and documents that the superintendent may require.   [PL 1989, c. 797, §23 (NEW); PL 1989, c. 797, §§37, 38 (AFF).]
B. Every organization which has applied for a license must notify the superintendent of every material change in the facts or in the documents on which its application was based. Any amendment to a document filed under this section must be filed at least 30 days before it becomes effective.   [PL 1989, c. 797, §23 (NEW); PL 1989, c. 797, §§37, 38 (AFF).]
C. If the superintendent finds that the applicant and the natural persons through whom it acts are competent, trustworthy and technically qualified to provide the services proposed, and that all requirements of the law are met, the superintendent shall issue a license specifying the authorized activity of the applicant. The superintendent may not issue a license if the proposed activity would tend to create a monopoly or to lessen substantially the competition in any market.   [PL 1989, c. 797, §23 (NEW); PL 1989, c. 797, §§37, 38 (AFF).]
D. The superintendent may at any time, after hearing, revoke or suspend the license of an advisory organization that does not comply with the requirements and standards of this section.   [PL 1989, c. 797, §23 (NEW); PL 1989, c. 797, §§37, 38 (AFF).]

§2321-B. Insurers and advisory organizations; prohibited activity
1.
No insurer or advisory organization may:
A. Attempt to monopolize, or combine or conspire with any other person to monopolize an insurance market; or   [PL 1989, c. 797, §23 (NEW); PL 1989, c. 797, §§37, 38 (AFF).]

A. The fact that 2 or more insurers, whether or not members or subscribers of an advisory organization, use consistently or intermittently the same rates, rating plans, rating schedules, rating rules, policy or bond forms, rate classifications, rate territories, underwriting rules, surveys or inspections or similar materials is not sufficient in itself to support a finding that an agreement exists.   [PL 1989, c. 797, §23 (NEW); PL 1989, c. 797, §§37, 38 (AFF).]
B. Two or more insurers having a common ownership or operating in this State under common management or control may act in concert between or among themselves with respect to any matters pertaining to those activities authorized in this chapter as if they constituted a single insurer.   [PL 1989, c. 797, §23 (NEW); PL 1989, c. 797, §§37, 38 (AFF).]
