§ 83-2-23. Cooperation among insurers participating in joint underwriting, pools, residual market mechanisms; registration with and review by commissioner; unfair practices.
Notwithstanding Section 83-2-21, insurers participating in joint underwriting, pools or residual market mechanisms may act in cooperation with each other in the making of rates, supplementary rate information, policy forms, underwriting rules, surveys, inspections and investigations, the furnishing of loss or expense statistics or other such information and in the conduct of research in connection with such activity. Except to the extent modified by this section, insurers participating in joint underwriting, pool or residual market mechanisms are subject to the other provisions of this chapter. Every pool shall file with the commissioner a copy of its constitution, articles of association or incorporation, bylaws and any other rules or regulations governing its activities, a list of its members, the name and address of a resident of this state upon whom notices or orders of the commissioner or process may be served, and any changes in the foregoing. Any residual market mechanism, plan or agreement to implement such a mechanism, and any amendments thereto, shall be submitted in writing to the commissioner for approval, together with such information as the commissioner may reasonably require. If, after a hearing, the commissioner finds that any activity or practice of insurers participating in joint underwriting, pool or residual market mechanisms is unfair, unreasonable or otherwise inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter, the commissioner shall issue a written order specifying in what respects such activity or practice is unfair, unreasonable or otherwise inconsistent with the provisions of this chapter and require the discontinuance of such activity or practice.
